The manual should say what the ESC can handle.

LiPO batteries don't neccessarily amount to more power, but they will deliver more consistent power and in many cases longer runtimes.

But to answer your question - YES, the stock esc will handle a LiPO battery as long as its voltage doesn't exceed that of a normal 6-cell NiMH pack. If it's a 2S LiPO it's voltage should be 7.4 volts, which is similar to the 7.2 volts of a stock 6-cell pack. But if it's a 3S 11.1V pack you're asking for trouble.
