NO! You need a LiPo-specific charger to charge a LiPo battery! Like this one Thunder AC680 Professional Dual-Power LiPo Balance Charger Discharger w AC Adapter for 1-6 Lipo 1-15 Nimh + USB to PC Software Great charger for only $50. However in YOUR truck, since the ESC does not have a Low Voltage Cut Off for LiPo, you will need to buy a Low Voltage Alarm. This is a device that plugs between the battery & ESC and will beep when the battery voltage gets below 3.2V/Cell.
