Your RoF may be a bit different, you may have to change gear ratios or try out an 11.1v to see how it handles. Again, the batteries themselves are dirt cheap so it doesn't hurt your wallet to try them out!
I currently run this:

It's a small type I'm assuming - so the lipo I mentioned earlier should outperform this? Or at least spin my motor, lol?
