yes you will be fine. The defining factor for lipo use on the GOAT is 2S (7.4v Lipo packs) as rated by Novak.

so bascailly any 7.4v 2S lipo pack will work. though you may want to check Pack Size, and figure you where you plan to mount the battery, and check to see if there is room for the perticular packs you are looking at buying.


Note the BOLD and Large specs i highlighted in your post.

also take not of the motor size limits on the Goat. just an fyi for future thoughts on this one.
