Does anyone know of a mother board that can handle a lipo battery being connected to it? And if so what voltage battery pack is suitable.

The documentation on my IBU2U says it will take up to 3S Lipo, but I run mine on 2S.

Open Panzer board will take 2S or 3S batteries, it is good for 7-15V

The stock V2 MFU from Taigen is also set up to handle 2S lipo. As far as I know, the Clark series and the Tamiya electronics are set for 7.2 nicads or nimhs or 7.4 lipo or li-ion and won't handle 12 volts (11.1 3S). I believe elmod will handle 3S but I'm not positive about that. I'm sure someone here will know.

Here's the V2 in my Panzer III, running on a Nanotec 2200 Mah lipo battery
This tank is still for sale, BTW.
It drives just great, even though that's not shown in the video.

Some years ago one of us reported a burned out new CLARK board while using a LI-PO,
The accepted advise was with a new CLARK board use a NI-MH or a NI-CAD for the boards first use and then use a LI-PO,
It appears by doing it that way it "Hardens" the new board,
I don't know if it is true but every new board that I use always gets hooked upto a NI-MH for its first use and then I go to a LI-PO and I have never had a burned out board.
