The Team Losi MicroT LiPo (LOSB0862) is a 7.4V LiPo. No, that will not fry your board. However, it's only 180mAh, which is very minimal considering we use much higher mAh ratings in both our LiPo and NiMH batteries.

Yes, it will work, but the battery will have a very short lifetime and may not provide enough amperage to move your crawler up steeper surfaces or places with high strain on the motor and/or other electronics.

it might be better to try to use the 2s2p or 2s pack from atomic, or find a 7.2v helicoptor lipo

Or just go with low drain NIMH's. Your not gonna want jumpy lithium. Thats overkill. NIMH will be smooth and although heavy, keep the tires well planted on the rocks. A 4 cell NIMH setup isn't even that heavy...
