Title: Lipo help
Post by: BK on March 20, 2013, 06:26:42 PM: Hey whats up guys, i just recently decided to invest in a lipo, tenergy 11.1v 1000 mah to be exact, and i bought a lipo charger to go with it. Now my JG runs on a large type, so i wired the lipo to a large type. But once i put it into the gun, and tried to fire all i got was a motor clicking noise, now i dont know what this means, and was wondering if anyone could help me out?

Im sure the battery is charged and my wiring isnt the issue. And my 8,4 is working fine with it

this is the wrong advice for this problem.
most likely you do have the polarity backwards. the easyest way to test this is to take the motor out and turn it 180 degrees and put it back in. i bet it fires right up after that. if it doesnt then you have another problem that you need to deal with.

If you plug the battery into the charger it should tell you if the polarity is incorrect.

Red = Positive +
