Your question is a good one. In our manual, there is reference to setting up the battery. Your ECU should be the new V10 with black plastic case. If so, you may select the battery choice within the START menu. Battery options are 7.4v LiIon/LiPo/Limag or 9.9v LiFe or A123 type batteries. Please reference your manual for the correct procedure to change battery type used. 2s LiPo is only capable of putting out 7.4 volts so your concern of a hot start is unnecessary. Hot starts are a result of excess fuel in the combustion chamber due to over priming or repeat failed starts due to improper set up. If you think you have excess fuel in the turibine, stand the turbine with starter motor facing DOWN to drain.
Selecting a 2s or 2s2p LiPo is perfectly acceptable. We suggest at least 3000mAh with a minimum of 25C rating for optimum performance.
Please for verification, email me (

Thank you,
