Also, always go for off the shelf drop in solutions (ie. complete gearbox), there's no point in dicking around inside the gearbox if you don't know what you're doing. I don't recommend the high speed motors because IMO they just make you into a BB hose, I'm perfectly fine with my TM EG1000 motor which nets me more or less what a RS AR15 shoots at (~750-900 RPM or 12-15 RPS).

I have heard bad things about lipo. Exploding issues and stuff. I read that you cannot use them to empty otherwise they can overheat and leak or explode. Not sure if it is true, just stuff I have picked up on forums
