    I'd use a 7.4v lipo with a 20/25C rating. That way you will have good trigger response, decent ROF and you will be able to use a huge battery pack so you will get a full weekend from a single charge. Be sure to check our hobby king for the lipo's.
    And you may wish to swap the g&g motor for another as they have a fairly high failure rate.

    For motors id use one of the following a TM eg 30,0000, SHS high torque, any of the guarders or a tornado. The g&p's are gone to sh1t over the last couple of years, the pinion gears are soft and they draw huge ammounts of power, killing batteries like mad.

    A high torque motor is now generally preferred over a high speed. A high torque will get to maximum speed more quickly whereas a high speed will have a higher max speed but will take longer to reach it. Given most people do short bursts, the ROF return from high speed is overshadowed by the faster trigger response from a high torque.

    I would generally recommend SHS parts as being good kit without the hefty prices.

    The G&P M120 is often referred to in forum postings but if you look you will see they are older ones as the M120 is a high speed and so is no longer a preferred motor. Not to say they are bad, but are no longer the preferred type.
