Default Can the Savage Flux take 2 3s lipos?

For a total of 22.2 volts? Most people say yes but the reason I ask is because they say "up to 16 NiMh cells or 2 Lipos (either 2s or 3s)"

16 NiMhs is 19.2V
6s (2s x 2) lipo is 22.2

If it can take 22.2, why is the NiMh limit 16 instead of 18 (21.6)

I'm considering getting this truck, and have 2 nice 3s lipos for a total of 22.2 volts but don't want to butcher my ESC.

It can take twin 3s Lipos, HPI mentions it a bunch throughout the product page. Not sure why they say 16 NiMhs instead of 18, maybe due to space restrictions?
