Can someone tell me if the stock ESC (LOSB0826) can handle Lipo batteries or will I have to replace the stock ESC:confused:

Thanks,

David

6 cell nimh are 7.2 volts. The lipo is 7.4 if it is a 2cell. Should work fine
with stock speed control but you don't want to run it down below
6 volts. Rick

Rick Rad hit it on the head. I ran mine with stock ESC and 2 cell 1850 MAH 20C lipo with no issues. Longest race was 5 minutes and never used more than half of the MAH of the batt.
