savage x conversion battery questions??

[ratpower396]

I know about lipos I have been considering them for quite some time but the problem is..
2 batteries = $40
1 charger = $100
1 esc to handle lipos $150
total= near $300
The setup I have is paid for & woking just looking to get alittle better run time out of it..
The esc is rated 100 amp & the mamba monster is 120 amp is that enough to justify a new esc??

As awesome and tough as a Mamba Max is, it's rated for 3s/11.1 volts only. (IF) you let the smokle out you'll have no warrentee to fall back on. I personally have used a MM w/4s with limited use successfully and have seen other guys also do it. Doesn't make it the right thing to do nor is it exactly safe.
Just trying to help out,good luck.
something to consider ?

MambaMonster would be a better choice but since your on a budget.
