I'd like to run Lipo's in my 2wd Slash but I need to know what other Slash owners are using for a "low voltage cutout" on their lipo fuels Slash?
Let me know...

i bought the novak setup and it comes with a lipo cut-off built in. but i think novak sells a seprate lipo cut-off unit that is for esc's that dont have them built in.

what you need is called a smart stop. just chose how many cells you will be running and ur all set. you can find it at teamnovaks web site

Smart stop doesn't work with the stock Slash esc - see about 1/2 way down on this -

If you're racing, its not usually a propb. If you're not, you can use an low voltage alarm tyhat usually has a audible and visible alarm that goes off when you approach the lvc.

Can find them on eBay, helis hjave been using them for a while.

I bought a low voltage alarm at Maxamps. It just plugs in to the balance connector.

Being new to lipos, it might be a little sketchy to run them with no cut-off. Especially when your out in front of the house goofin around. When you make the change you'll be addicted, but I would definitly get the alarm that Paul mentioned or upgrade your esc.

SMART-STOP UPDATE FOR TRAXXAS XL-5 ESC USERS

The Novak Smart-Stop 2S Li-Po Cut-Off Module (Novak #5470) is not compatible with the blue-cased Traxxas XL-5 ESC (Traxxas #3018X) that is included with the Traxxas Slash 1/10 2WD Short Course Racing Truck (Traxxas #5805). This module may or may not be compatible with the original, gold-cased Traxxas XL-5 ESC (Traxxas #3018). Novak is researching this issue to determine if an update can be made to the module or if a separate module can be offered for this application.

While I understand the purpose of having LVC....with my slash once the truck gets sluggish I pull the battery. stike esc has LVC built in
