Your orig ques was on the 16th E-Revo which comes witha 2S and 3S rated VXL brushless setup. The Stock E-Revo is diff, it runs brushed motors with the brushed evx-2 esc.

Most run a pr of 2S lipos in the stock E-Revo - the esc puts them in series for the equivalent of 4S. If you're asking about a pair of 3S lipos with stock wiring - no, you can't thats the equivalent of 6S at the esc (25.2v).

You have to add some kind of low voltage cutoff to prevent the lipos from being overdischarged and possibly damaged if you're going to use them in a strock E-Revo.
