I have to get the KO Propo ICS-USB Adapter (item # 61028) and a fresh - new computer to change the Cut-Off Voltage.

-These so-called powerful Li-Po batteries should(better) make my R.C. Cars much faster.(?)

Thank You
A standard 2 cell lipo is typically 8.4V properly charged. The ESC can handle more than 7.4V. You can just charge the HV packs at the regular 8.4 voltage if the ESC really can't handle the marginally higher voltage. Where are you reading that the ESC can only do 7.4V anyway? The manual I just looked at said 4-7 cell (4.8V-8.4V). Does that ESC have lipo cutoff?
