I think for people like that (that don't want to take good advice) you should let him do it and stand by with a fire extinguisher. Just make sure when he tries to send it in for warranty service that you let Tekin know he was running it on 3S.

And just to be clear, higher voltage doesn't give longer runtime with no other changes to the car. Your friend is seriously misinformed.
