Even if lipo performance is about the same, it still gives you a rechargeable battery instead of chewing through packs of AAs. Aren't 3s lipos like 11.1v with more current draw available compared to 8 x AAs 12v with lower current draw? When upgrading a stryfe to 7.4v over 6 it gives fps improvement. 11.1v over 12 may give less power with faster spin up and rate of fire due to current draw.

[@Spartan412]

So glad to see Dart Zone embrace different battery types! I'm surprised 8AAs can provide the torque and squeeze to shoot darts through the 40mm cage! I use 6AAs and a 43mm cage with Worker Smooths just to hit 140 with my Elite Rayven, surprised to see how just 3 volts more brings 150+ superstock velocities!

[@4WDriver]

3S LiPo is actually a downgrade from 8 AA's. 8 AA's at 1.5 volts each = 12 volts total. 3 LiPo cells at 3.7 volts each = 11.1 Volts. LiPo should allow for higher current draw, but you are at a lower voltage. If the system can take 12 volts from AA's, it should be okay with 14.8 volts from 4S LiPo. Especially only seeing pulsed use for relatively short duration, such as the application of a flywheel dart blaster, even if it's a tad high for it, it really shouldn't have any problems from it, having the time to cool down between bursts of firing. If you're really worried about it, monitor the temp with an instant-read, non-contact IR thermometer for $18 on sale from Harbor Freight Tools right now.
