    Lipo batteries will give you a big boost in performance but you will need a couple things.

    1: if your esc does not have a low voltage cutoff you will need to get an aftermarket one

    2: lipos require a special charger its a good idea to get one that can balance charge

    3: obviously a lipo battery lol

    4: If your making the plunge it might be a good idea to pick up a charge bag lipo batteries can be very volatile if you have one burst into flames while charging its nice to have it contained.

    I run lipos in my vehicles and they are nice I have had one go up in flames on me they can be crazy but the performance is nice and you will get longer run times. I would say a good 2s 5000mah would do nice for you I run 2 in my erevo and it will almost do standing back flips and it will run a goog 30-45 mins on a full charge.

    You dont necessarily need a new esc you can get aftermarket lvc or at least a low voltage warning. you can run without one but if you discharge a lipo to far it wont take a charge again
