you can run whatever mah (you said your old one was 4300) because that is just capacity of the pack. Not sure on the voltage your esc can handle. The number of cells directly affects the voltage, more cells=more volts.

I believe the novak systems anre limited to 7 cells on the nimh packs. lipo is allowed 3cells. I would suggest like a maxamps lipo 3cell 20c at 11.1 volts with 5800 mah Also if your interested tenergy just introduced 5000nimh loose cells. They are 72$ for 20 of them.

Be aware that the 5000mah cells are 50mmx26mm.
IB4200 cells are 43.7 mm. Diameter, 23.4 mm.
With my Xray FK04 the IB4200 don't fit.
