Hi everyone,

Just got an Traxxas E-Revo Brushed #5605. I noticed that the ESC has no LVD.

I was wondering if I can still use Lipo Batteries with the EVX-2 ESC. I'm not too worried about the lack of LVD feature, because I was planning to connect a portable Low Voltage Alarm/Monitor to at least one of the Lipos.

Is this an ok route to take? I just want to make sure the ESC can use Lipos primarily.

Thanks.

As long as you add an external battery alarm, you'll be fine.

Perfect, that's exactly what I just bought. Thanks Mark!

Do you have any recommendations to what i should set the voltage alarm to? I will be using a 2S Lipo 7.4v. Thanks.

They typically only have a voltage selection based on the number of cells like this Novak one but if yours is programmable to an exact voltage, somewhere between 3.0-3.2v/cell is what you're aiming for so 6.0-6.4v. Also know that the setting will be lower than a storage voltage/etc. because the packs' voltage will drop under load.
