Do you guys use regulators(BEC) on your lipos, or is it ok to just run the straight 7.4v?
I do use regulators, but just to be on the safe side. Only thing I've heard is the servos won't last as long. But I don't have the money to do THAT kind of testing. LOL. When a lipo is fully charged the voltage is 8.4v for a short while and it starts falling off to around the 7.4v range. Then it holds there for most of the pack until it finally dumps, which is super rapid. That's where people with stick pack Lipos get in trouble. The keep running the vehicle, like to bring the vehicle around to their feet and pick it up. That's a no, no. If your vehicle or the vehicle's servos slow down and don't respond like normal. SHUT IT DOWN, right where it is. Just stop and turn everything off. Go back and charge the battery.
