conti-

I've been using 2s 7.4v LiPos on my MLST2 and Mini-T's. The stock ESC can handle it, but watch the temps..

plus you'll probably end up going through more replacement parts with LiPo's.

thinking about trying a 11.1v 3s.....

The stock ESC doesn't have a cutoff for Lipos. So be careful not to run them down to far or you will damage the cells.
