I don't think 7.4V would be issue free. I don't even think the microswitch issue is "lipo-only".
I think the working current with everything stock and a 9.6V (maybe even 8.4V) NiMH battery would still be too big for the stock microswitch, and the switch bouncing causes more spark and more erosion on the contact points. As the contact points being "wear" with sparks the resistance increases and cause it able to pass even less current and it just keeping get worse... That's why I decided to switch to the combination of a bouncing free low current microswitch and a MOSFET. I don't even run 11.1V lipo on my G36C.
