So I am speaking from a newbie level....
I thought to my understanding that if possible try to change the battery connector on the RC to be a direct fit to the battery (IC3, IC5, EC3, EC5, Deans, T-connector, etc).
So this link here to which I believe Venom is a good battery market a battery with universal connectors which could be handy for some use cases on non-high power RCs. I have even seen Amain Hobbies add this option to the right on some RC cars as a purchase option. Battery
https://www.amazon.com/Venom-2000mAh-Battery-Universal-Traxxas/dp/B002AK38TS
In this example, I found this looking for lower mAh power (2000) at 2S for RCs that come Nickle batteries as standard (brushed motors) but an option to go no higher than 2S lipo if I change the dip selection. So if you reply compare that to lower level 2S universal connectors in comparison to doing that at 4S and above which I think would be a risk. But the focus is on this battery level and example.
As a side note: I am looking at these 2000mAh batteries... I have IC5 2S Spektrum 5000mah (7.4v) batteries... but it has too much run time for these smaller 1/10 on-road brushed motor cars. I want the 7.4v but I do not need it at 5000mah so I want less run time (2000mah) with full voltage. I don't know how to do that with my current batteries to get less run time like the 2000 but at full 7.4 voltage...
