yes, the CX2 7.4v Lipo and even the CP Pro 11.1v Lipo will work with the stock Mini T electronics! the only skills required are soldering and a brain... you'll have to figure out some type of universal connector, I for one have found Deans Ultra to fit my needs.

simply plug and play! however, if you upgrade your stock Mini T to Lipo's you'll find other break weak spots in the build... bearings to start, they are always good!
