If you're running NiMH vice LiPo, the cutoff will engage earlier than necessary. Keep in mind that your batteries are putting out about 7.2v instead of 8.4 like a LiPo would be. The cutoff is ending your playtime prematurely because of the battery type. If you can disable the cutoff, you can run until the battery dumps, if not, you wont get much runtime out of it. One would think the ESC would change the cutoff after detecting battery type though.
