But then, from what your saying, this shouldn't matter tho, (as if I've understood you right), then at the end of the day, the ultimate ouput of either a 7.2v nimhs or 7.2v lipo, is actually the same as far as the esc is concerned.
I said quality electronics...

The only possible issue you can have is overdischarge of a LiPo due to the lack of a cutoff in most brushed ESCs. But as long as you stop running the car when it slows down noticeably, you'll be fine. Most racers won't even come close to dumping a LiPo in 5 minutes. I'm probably taking 800mAh out of the pack in mini class.
