There's nothing that'll do it right now. Seems to me the best thing to do is get an audible low voltage alarm. When your truck starts squealing then it's time to stop.

Haven't found one yet and if you must, the LVA would be the way to go.

Unless it is a requirement for where ever you are running you don't need it! The ESC will cut in a low voltage situation...

Yes it will, but too low for a lipo. My cousin ran my slash about a month ago and was using a 3200 lipo. He didnt pay attention to how long he was practicing and ran the lipo down too far. When i plugged it into the charger it was 5.2 volts resting. Thats bad. lol. Charged it up at .5 amps and everything is still fine. Batt still works good but in no way do i suggest to run them that low.

I did the same thing...once during a practice session! When I had my Slash I would just pay close attention to the run times and never ran into the prob again. Now that I have my SC10 I really don't worry about it.
