Just run a 4 cell receiver pack (4.8V). Leave the ESC on/off switch in the off position all the time if you run a receiver pack. Issue fixed.
You can run 6 Cell or 2S Lipo Receiver pack just fine as well. This is what most Nitro drivers use. So it won't blow anything up. I do just you add an on/off switch in line with your reciever pack though, to prevent the car from taking off or turning on as soon as you plug the receiver pack in.
