Default Which ESC's can handle 11.1V???

I got my start in R/C flying airplanes and accumulated some 11.1V LiPo's. However, now that I'm into cars I can't find any available ESC's that are designed to handle that kind of voltage. It seems everyone I run into is for 6 to 7 cells. So, I'm wondering which ESC's can handle 3-cell LiPo's. Cost is a big factor for me so I'm not interested in the stuff that's ridiculously pricey and I would actually like to know if anyone has tried the ESC's I have with higher voltage and whether or not they've had success. I have a 12T Duratrax Intellispeed in my Mini Quake SE with a 14T 540, a 12T Hitec HFX-R in my TLT-1 with a 14T 540, and an 11T Associated A.I. in my TT-01 with a 14T 540. I will also soon have a 19T Associated A.I. in my Mini-T with a Baja Micro. Do any of these setups sound like they could handle 11.1V? If not, what do I have to get in order to utilize these packs that are just sitting around? Thanks.
