Good idea - let's also try keep this about the do's and don'ts also instead of arguing!
Obviously the most important thing is to take proper care of it and never charge unattended or on a non-lipo charger.
Definately a good idea to use a Lipo safe ESC (and make sure it is in LIPO mode) - that will protect the pack from discharging too much.
Oh, I'd also advise sticking to hard cased packs - I've no real experience with uncased cells so not saying they are crap at all, just that the hard case protects the soft cells, and we all know what sort of punishment these things can go through.
