Li-Poly and HPI Electronics

Hi all,
Im considering moving up to a 2 cell Li-Poly Battery. My new Blade CX2 Heli uses them, so I figured why not convert my Micro RS-4 to use the same batteries.
My problem is I can find any specs. on the HPI electronics that came with the car and I'm not sure if they are rated for 7.4v. If any one knows for sure and could help me out, I'd appreciate it.

Installed electronics:
Motor: Orion Core Micro Modified
ESC: HPI Micro Pro Control 2
Receiver: HPI RF-3
Servo: HPI SF-1
Radio: HPI TF-3
Batteries: HPI Ni-Cad 6.0v 600 mAh 5 cell

I know that the esc will handle 7.2volts but dont know about the 7.4....but i can tell you now that your going to need a voltage cutoff device when running that battery with the stock esc.
