I am thinking adding RM2 motors to my Stryfe and I want to use a battery pack, not Trustfires. Can anyone recommend the best pack for RM2s, and if so supply a link. (By pack I mean a big rechargeable battery like a LiPo.)

Just get some standard 1.5v AA sized rechargeable batteries, no need for a fancy battery pack.

RM2 Motors are actually only rated for 3volts, I'm of the opinion that stock batteries are the way to go.

I've done extensive chronograph testing on RM2 motors, running them on the normal AA cells they outperform a stock Stryfe by 40feetpersecond.

Running them on standard AA cells is actually overvolting the motors, in my experiences trying to run them on anything more will quickly burn the tightly wound brushes.
