I wouldn't do that either. For one thing, the caps on there are only rated 25v. Manufacturers tend to spec in a safety zone, but at 24 cells (~29v), that is really pushing it! At the very least, its life will be shortened.

I know the MM is relatively inexpensive and it's tempting to use it where otherwise you'd have to use a costly ESC, but there are limits.
