On my carpet 2mod buggy, using a low-profile shorty combined with the massive draw that type of racing produces, I had to turn it down to 2.8v/cell or it might "tease" the LVC on a full throttle punch before the end of a main. LVC is usually triggered first under load, not static so even if you hit it at 3.0v/cell, your pack will still probably read at least 3.6v/cell when hooked back up to a charger - easily a safe setting.
