i wish i knew that before buying two 7.4 lipos!!!
You can get a bazillion-C rated lipo for your stock gun, and you won't harm it IN ANY WAY. You'll only run into a problem with a highly 'C' rated lipo if you heavily upgrade the gun and then try to rely on the stock wiring and contacts, or if you have multiple drum-mags and tape your trigger down while you switch mag after mag.

This thread needs some info from you so a proper lipo can be recommended (clearly, you chose a lipo that was not powerful enough, through no fault of your own).

What gun?
What motor?
What stock (or wherever your battery goes)?
What spring?
What length barrel?
What's the fps with .20's?
and most importantly, link us to what lipo you purchased.

I'm certain once you post the needed info, someone reading this will be able to recommend the maximum-sized, high 'C' rated lipo to fit into your gun.
