From what the people at nitrorcx told me is that i would have to upgrade the ESC,and motor to be able to run lipo. they said if you put in a lipo that it would cause the ESC to get to hot even with the cooling fan runing and that it would cause the motor to run hot and melt things. Im a Noob at this stuff so i don't know if im getting the shaft or if they are telling me the truth.
