Yes you can run the 8.4 volt nimh, but dis-able the bec before you do and run a rx pack.

Diesel which wire is the bec wire??? I see a lot of people saying to disable it but nobody has said which one it is? Even though my esc doesn't have a bec its nice to know for future thanks for the help

It's the red wire on the lead that plugs into the the rx. Use a small flat jewelers screwdriver to lift up the lock tap on the esc's rx lead and slide the red wire out. Some guys actually cut the wire, don't cut it that's just lazy. Take the extra 10 seconds and pull it out, that way if you ever want to use the bec again all you have to do is slide it back in and press the lock tab down.
