I have newer SC cell 950mah and run 6.4V 2900mah 2s3p
and soon i test 2s2p or 4s1p with esc same side of my pack
for offroad i think it was better than lipo
same speed with good gearing but little less torque on start
better smooth start and more smooth on slipper and drive shaft
you need to make small adapter with 6 A diode to lower voltage of lipo charger to 3.6 - 3.8V best for lifepo4 cell
the big diiferency is the power up at the middle of the race same with the temp of the cell
