Specs for a stock BJ motor and ESC ( see link below ) indicate that they will both handle 21 volts which is the rating for a fully charged 5 cell lipo (right?). I posted an inquiry (below) asking if the boat can handle the 2.8lb weight of 2 x 5 cell packs in parallel on the Blackjack forum but got no answer

Reason I’m asking is… just like each and every person reading this, I’v gotten the bug. I now know that this hull is not the best and looking down the road, I’m hopeing I can use the lipo for something better.
This is my first boat that is not from ToysRus. I tried to learn as much as I can by reading as much as I can on different forums but I guess the question is............ just too bizarre to acknowledge????
If the question is throwing some people off balance, I assure you that I do not know enough to throw a line like this as a joke (i.e. “will this be to much weight? / can I throw a 55 gal barrel in the trunk for a gas tank?) I really don’t know! ( I can always put bigger tires, bigger motor, wider frame, etc, etc, short of sinking the car/er boat, right!?
PLEASE!!!!! I would really appreciate it if somebody can set me straight. I can handle the embarrassment better than spending big $$$ on the wrong stuff!
I know I’ll end up buying the big batt if I don’t get any advice
