one downside of the cyma aks74u is that is has a very small battery compartment... i'm not a fan of lipoly so i thought of what better way of going around the problem... am very big fan of nicads and nihm... so guys these are just my ideas from junks lying around.
Materials:extra wires and connectors in your toolbox
your other batteries that wont fit inside the batt compartment
some electrical tapes

i noticed a small gap between the gearbox and the folding butt that could easily pass wires.. so you could have another battery connector here to serve as back up in case your stock battery runs dry...


connector from the gearbox to the battery

here's is a finished product with a 9.6v Nimh 2000mah firefox battery wrapped in electrical tape
though its not a "purist" AK with all the wires showing up, you get the idea that this mod can help if you have low batt and just hook up another battery in a pouch or whatever ... and your still good to go in the game...
this battery wire extension can easily be hidden when you don't need it... but when you feel that there ain't no more juice, just plug and play... :cool:
