Pretty sure most lipos 3200 and up will run for 5 to 7 minutes safely so check your watch and run the snot out of it
Shouldn't be that big of a deal unless you just can't stop driving.
Good lipos are pretty tough, just use your head and you won't run it too low in your Slash like some seem to have done.
Real life still needs common sense.
