So, 1st trigger pull = 1.5 cycles, 2nd pull = .5 cycle. It was fun, but we decided to remove the extra cells and now all is well with 8.4v. Just something to be aware of if you go with a custom battery.

What gears were you using for that upgrade?
What you're describing sounds like a problem you'd get with standard ratio gears with too much voltage. What happens is that the increased ROF will cause the motor to overtorque and because the spring is not excessively heavy, it doesn't stop the overtorqued gears, and thus, rotating past the stop point.
It's an imbalanced setup.
