I think the voltage of the 3S would fry the motor.

Any decent (think 25C 4000mAh or similar, and from a good company) 2S LiPo should be more than capable of handling the amperage draw.

Having no pinch left does not mean the motor is shot, as long as it has compression left that's all that really matters.

As long as the heated air is moving away from the ESC, you're good. Of course, the efficiency might be different, but probably not very much.

You are better off not using the charger, and adding another battery if possible.

Also, I'd reccomend against the 8.0, get the 4.6, it has more than enough power, with great economy. As in, an average of 7 minutes per tank, with 8 minutes or more being possible.
