I ran the Mjx hyper go h16pl buggy on 3s and it was crazy. the battery I used was the angry snail 2000 mah 3s lipo. the battery was a little big for the battery tray but it worked out ok. at times it blocked the servo arm from full range but a quick battery repositioning fixed that and one of the tires came unglued but other than them minor issues it performed awesome on 3s. no problems with the esc
