There are quite a few radio systems that are compatible with a lipo pack without the need for a regulator. Team Orion, KO Propo, Hi-Tec, some Sanwa and other receivers and servos are already compatible. I would recommend going in that direction.

you can now get the battery box from AE I'm running a portek
2000mah from A Main Hobbies with a muchmore regulator it's
working out just fine run for 2hr 28min of practise on
one charge not bad if you run a lipo I would put it in the
box give it some protection for when you may get hit in
the side
