not sure which lipo to go for, sugestion?
I would suggest one of the new Kypom Lipos in a 11.1v 2200 mah 30c continuous 60c burst. I am currently using a 7.4v version in my MP5 and its a very nice high quality unit, affordable too (only $22.99 through a supplier in Winnipeg).

I would recommend against this unit as it is low in quality and you could do much better for the money. Anything above 20c will kill his switch??? I'm sorry but what exactly are you talking about???. I'm sure the FET he is using is of higher quality (programmable) ( almost all high end FET's can handle 40amp continuous minimum and most setups will never draw that anyways). Just because a battery has available amperage ("c" value x capacity / 1000 = total amperage available ) to draw from, does not mean it forces the AEG to use it or over supplies it. An AEG will only draw whatever amperage it requires to run at it's optimum speed. Example, you have setup with high speed gears and 1J spring that requires 25amps to run at it's optimum speed, you run this set up on an 11.1v lipo with 5000mah capacity with a 60c discharge rate, that is 300amps you have to draw on with that battery, still you're set up will only draw 25 amps because that's the full load it requires to run at it's optimum speed.I'm sorry but I would recommend to go with the highest "c" value and Mah you can afford in a battery.
