Lathe motors are made to run on 12v, so it should be fine. Check the Integy website.

It will have a noticeable increase in power but not runtime. Probably not worth the extra weight. Good wheelspeed can be achieved with 7-8 cells from what I've noticed. I run 7-cells on mine with good results.

Ive seen guys use 6 cell packs made from GP3300s or other batteries, but I have also seen guys use smaller cells like IB1400's made up into packs of 8 or 10. It all depends on what you ESC can handle and what your building for.
