You may also wish to change the props to get the most out of it as they will be spinning faster.

Status: offline 		I can almost guarentee that if you go from 7.2 volts to 11.1 it will blow up the ESC the moment you plug it in.

can
If it is in fact a cheap boat, keep it  sock as a retrieval/fun boat and get a new hull with potential. I am sure some people here can offer suggestions as a to a great platform to start with.

Status: offline 		sorry, miss read.  Ultimately it is up to the electronics and what their max volts is.  Remember that 11.1 is a nominal voltage, not max.

Status: offline 		I wouldnt say it would "blow" up but if cooled properly and carefully checked while running you may be able to even run 4s but NO one on here would reccomend that. but just for poops and giggles i ran 21.6v through the esc below 3 times already and every thing is perfectly intact.just to mention the bec output only raised by .6v to 6.22 from the original 5.62 with a 7.2v battery my brushes are getting toasted but hey its a 700 ryobi saw zaw motor made for pain and pleasure.
