Safe to use my 4s battery?

Hi all,
My quad came with 2 or 3 4s batteries. I wanted to check it was safe to use them?
What do I need to know?
Afro 12a ESC
Multi star baby beast motors
Naza v2.

I know that it won't make me faster on the GPS or atti modes as they have maximum rates built in but I wanted to be sure it was safe to use?

Thanks

Joe
 
The motors are rated max 3s batteries. I have watched a lot of racers use 4s hi C batteries but they want to win races and don't mind replacing burnt out motors. I think the ESC's will handle it ok but I'm not sure. I have only had 1 quad with Multistar motors and Afro ESC's and was not impressed so my experience is limited. You can probably use the 4s if you don't fly too aggressively. It would be much better to just get 3s batteries and save the 4s for a different build.

Just as he said, you can, but your equipment won't last very long, probably not worth the performance increase as a crash could be costly..
 
Cool, that's fine.
I have more 3s batteries just a few of these. I'll save them for upgrade at later date.

Thanks
