Everything stomper said. Any lipo balance charger will charge your lipo, the only differences between them are the features and how fast they can charge, but they all do the same thing. SOme can be had for as low as $5 from overseas.

Sorbo is another great suggestion, but evike isn't the only place that carries it. It's also at AirsoftGI and Clandestine airsoft. If you've already purchased your stuff, you can always just order them from their origin, Sorbopads.com. I'd suggest a 1/4in 70D pad and a neoprene protective cover for the sorbo.

Everything else looks real good.

---edit---
Seems the "^" at the top of the post kind of loses it's effectiveness if I'm on a new page... Oh well.

So I decided I'm just going to stick with an M150 for this. I also looked at the sorbo/neoprene pads and I am definatly going to get a couple of those. What would you guys consider an "ideal" barrel length? I have read that if you have too long of a barrel you actually lose FPS and range.
P.S. I will be getting an ER hop mod too.

Just stick with a 509mm barrel length. There hasn't been enough data to accurately tell you what barrel length is perfect. Lots of people will tell you 455mm for whatever reason, but that's not true for all cases. Just don't worry about it and stick with 509mm.

The same amount of money will buy you an Imax B6 or one of its numerous clones. Superior in every way; I've seen those "dumb" lipo chargers kill many batteries.

Stock motor, no MOSFET, and a stock battery?

We know you're busy making excellent videos Dom, but he is getting a motor, mosfet, and battery. Lonex A2, Extreme-Fire Cheetah, and some battery somewhere... I don't remember that one as well...

I wasn't talking to the efvarner guy, I was asking it of Stomper when he stated that he runs an M170 in a stock JG M4 with nothing changed except the piston and piston head. Sorry about the confusion, for some reason I thought my post was immediately following Stomper, but since it isn't, it's out of context. The question for Stomper still stands though.

Actually, yes, except for the battry. It came with a JG blue torque motor, and I've been running it on an 11.1 20c 1800 mah battery, and I'm going to keep doing that until it breaks!

I believe it, I've done it a few times myself. JG stock parts are real strong once they've been tuned properly.

Yea, I'm actually just waiting for it to break :P By the way, the charger I listed is a smart charger, and not a "dumb" charger.
