Status: offline 		I have both a 3200/4800, havent tried it in my tank but should work. My only concern would be voltage cut-off. It would be hard to tell when its getting low to stop the tank before battery destruction. I guess you could get a cut-off device or something too.

Status: offline 		I have used a 2 cell 1500MAH LIPO in my AEC. Yes, It ran the full Tamiya DMD and MFU. No problems.
Each cell is approximately 3.6 volts so stay away from the 3 cell variety. (11.1 volts) 2 cell only......
