A 12T 540?? That sounds like a really low wind count for a small ESC.

What are you going to put it in???

No reason to NOT use LiPO in that ESC, just mind the voltage.
The only thing I can see that would be an issue is a lack of a LVC.

Be a bit mindful of your elders.....kid.....

[OT, a bit chilly out this weekend, huh??!!]

PS, is it a "tempest" or "Tempfet"??

A 12 turn on a 25 amp ESC will burn the controller up in a minute.
