LiPo - ALWAYS charge on a LiPo charger set at the correct charge rate and Cell number (2S) and if possible, balance charge.
ALWAYS set your esc's voltage cutoff to match the cells, some will say 2S, some will be 3.0c per cell, or 3.1, 3.2.
As long as you follow those guidelines, you should have no problems.
Any swelling of a cell (you will see it straight away), then the cell is toast.
Good LiPo's are far more robust than NiMH's.
Brushless, 6.5 is more than enough for most peoples needs!
