Best choice for Lipo

I am looking to upgrade to a lipo AND a trigger master

I wish to have a floating from rail ssystem so nothing I need to put up there. I have a m15a4 with a sliding ctr magpul stock. No room in the stock for the battery. my only real choice is one for in the (slide tube??) I have seen some. Prefer around 8.4v or so? maybe a 7.2? still learning more on the sizes.

Where's my best choice to aquire one of these? and best place to go for price.

Shawn

Well, for the lipo, iv heard the RA-Tech are great. I actually just got mine but havent been able to feild it. I have the 7.4.v which will give you the same ROF as about a large 8.4v

i just measured the inner dimensions of my stock tube

I get 2.5 wide but only 10cm long. the stock tube batts i see online advertise as 12 or 14 long?

do i need a custom longer stock tube?

buffer tube. hmm i guess that's the proper name heh

that one is also 14cm

i stuck a ruler inside my tube and it only allows for 10cm

If I put a longer one on. my sliding butt won't go in as far
If I had a g+p body I guess. since they are not supported by that little nub thing.

not sure how you get them into these rifles.

+1000

I've been buying from there for a year now. Great store. Check out Zippy Lipos in specific.

Last time I looked through Hobbycity, I couldn't find any lipos appropriate for buffer tubes (stick). So I checked Cheapbatterypacks and found one or two that would probably fit. Between those two online stores, one really can't go wrong.

I have something similar to this but 11.1 V, it fit perfectly in the buffer tube.

I have a classic army sportline. The rear buffer tube slide son and is screwed from the inside.
Again another reason to change my body

I slid a pen inside my buffer tube and measured the depth. I got 10CM inside depth

Again all these batts are 12-14.. not sure how to get that in there.

I'm not trying to be derogatory in any way, you just have me really confused here.
From what you've said I'm under the impression you have a standard stock tube and receiver. You say you have a classic army sportline M4?
Could you please point out on this diagram of a CA sportline M4 where your receiver differs from the picture of the G&P receiver I posted?

But back on topic, there are other places you can put a LiPo, like ANPEQs

That's how all "normal" armalite receivers attach their stock tubes, including G&P. You mean screw inside the stock tube right?

Yes

Thunder, The lower recver in that pic has a extension sticking out
near s2007028
which shortens the inside space of my buffer tube greatly. making none of the current buffer tubes batteries fit.
