Slightly longer answer, if it's 2s lipo there is no low voltage cutoff, so after a hour and a half or so watch running the battery to low and hurting it.

I've been running a 7 cell NIMH in mine for a couple months on the stock ESC. Everything's OK. You get a bit more wheelspeed, which I didn't really want, but Oh well, the runtime is a bit longer. |
