Novak Micro GT on Lipos, Will it work
Has anyone tried a lipo battery on a Novak Micro Gt. Novak site states you need a lipo cutoff. Just trying to find out and of course Novak is closed today. Will it work but you just have to be careful with the batterys or what?

Protect your Li-Po battery investment. The Novak Smart-Stop 2-Cell Li-Po Cut-Off Module connects between the receiver and speed control, monitors the battery pack voltage, and prevents the batteries from going below the critical safety voltage level of 6.25 volts.
The Smart-Stop Cut-Off Module uses a combination of throttle interruption and a visual cue from a remotely-mounted, ultra-bright blue LED. If the vehicle is run beyond the warning period, the Smart-Stop Cut-Off Module will bring the motor to neutral while leaving full steering control. Features a One-Touch Set-Up button to learn the ESC’s settings for accurate and complete control, and a 6” replaceable LED harness.

I was thinking a 2s lipo is a 2s lipo. I wouldnt think a 2400 mah would be smaller than a 5000mah. Am I wrong? I was also thinking if a 6 cell stick pack would fit then a lipo would also.

Not really. Most smaller scale cars use 1800mah packs or smaller. In addition to the fact that smaller lipo packs don't have the higher C-rating of larger mah packs, the Micro GT was designed to use smaller 2/3A size nimh batteries while the higher capacity packs you are talking about use larger sub-C sized batteries that are more powerful. Even running lipo, my guess is that small a ESC is not designed to handle big power packs like you are talking about. 2400 to 5000mah batteries are designed for 1/10th scale cars, and the Micro GT is not.
