You would have to make sure the LiPo is only 6v (you coul probably use a slightly higher one if the Rx has a regulator to keep the voltage to 6v), or you could burn out the Servos. One BIG problem with LiPo's, is if you let them drop down too low in voltage, they can and have been known to burn up (as in catch fire). You would also need a different charger.
With all that in mind, for the cost of a LiPo Battery, a LiPo charger, a voltage regulator, and a way to monitor voltage regularly, you could easily get 4-5 NiMh batteries at 1200-1400 Mah, and have some money left over to pay for your practice time, race fees and lunch...
