What Lipos should I get.

[CHUCK]

I 'm going to start going to lipos for my guns. I have no idea what to use. I need one for my SCAR and one for the M60. What amp should I go too? And I hear 11.1 is about as high as you want to go.

Go here.

Look in the Lithium Polymer section.

yes, 11.1 is as high as you want to go. I would go with a 7.4 volt for your m60 however, as it will simulate the real guns rate of fire better, and allow you to fit higher capacity cells (for sustained fire that I'm sure your LMG will be put through) in the same space you would put an 11.1v battery of lower capacity (in general).

change the filter for what capacity and configuration you need.

Ebay has cheap lipos, just have to wait about 2 weeks to get them.

I've owned Lipos off ehobbyasia, ebay, ebaybanned and hobbycity. The most durable lipos have to be theHot Power stick lipos. Ok… So they aren’t really “liposâ€

I've owned four of the Hot Power stick lipos; they've been dropped, thrown, tossed and even short circuited and still keep on holding a charge for an entire day event. Yes, you heard me right! I've short circuited these lipos, on accident of course, if I would’ve done that with my Lipos they would’ve puffed and maybe even exploded!
The Flightmax lipos off hobbcity are really nice too, but since I just got my first Flightmax today I really can't say much other then they "appear to look nice".

The flightmax's are indeed nice, I've got 4 of them, and I get good ampdraw numbers from all of them .

Just out of curiosity, how did you short circuit those li-ions?

The only time I did anything like that was when I accidentally reversed the polarity of the banana plugs on one of my old Orion carbon lipo's R/C lipo's at a race. Blew up my speed control, but the battery was fine (the banana plugs plug directly into the battery from the speed control, we used to have deans in between it, but that was one more point of resistance so we did away with em'. We now hook up our batteries like this). In fact, I have had that particular pack for about 3 years now and it still works great...
