Monitoring Lipo Voltage during use
Do you guys time your driving time to know when to stop with a controller timer? or is there any telemetry systems that will tell you the voltage is low? I know they have lipo alarms but you wouldnt really be able to see it while driving.
What features does the Mamba Monster have for Lipo LVC? Does it have like a slow or low power feature were it turns down the motor or does it just quit?

I have a separate cut-off device. It has a led that blinks when the voltage gets low. Once the pack hits the cut-off voltage the led goes solid and the signal to the esc is set to a neutral position so you can't drive it anymore. I call it the novak system for dumbies.
I haven't used it yet for racing, but I imagine I'm not going to be able to see the blue led very well on a sunny summer day. My local track is pretty long and I'm not sure if it would give me enough warning to get it back in the pits either. That being said, timing/ counting laps is probably the best way to know when to bring it in.

I got one of those also. It connects to the balance connector on the lipo to monitor the voltage, and between the receiver and esc so that when it reaches the cutoff the car stops. It has 3 status LED's for fully charged, med charge, and low, and it has 3 selectable cutoffs. Cost me 14.99 plus shipping on EBay and it works great so far.
