lipo in reciever question.
#1
Hey all. I have a 8t2.0. I just ordered a 2s lipo for receiver. Question is how does it cut itself off. I am running a dx3s. Is that the only way to know when to stop? Running hv hitec servos on throttle and steering. Thanks guys. Got me kinda in a daze.

Cutoff has to be programed into the ESC.

The 8T is nitro isn't it?
You probably don't want a cutoff. Think about that for a second and what would happen when when the cutoff point is reached.
You could get a low voltage alarm, but how are you going to hear it over the sound of the engine?
If you have telemetry, that might be the way to go.

you could think about getting a lipo monitor with lights, so that you can just stop your car and look in through the windshield to see how much charge you have left.
This is the one I use for my electric cars without an LVC. http://www.hobbypartz.com/libaprforcar.html Just cut off the wire and you're good to go.

OP are you racing this or bashing?
If you're racing you shouldn't have any trouble getting a full race day on one charge...3-4 tanks of practice, couple heats and a 30 min main..
