Hope nobody read my dumb*ss idea - def wouldn't work. Still don't know how to wire an lvc for an emaxx to use lipo. May have to settle for one batt - I know one batt does more than other (supplies rx and servos) cause I always have one (same one) thats takes more on charge - maybe put lvc on this one and setup with 6.2-6.4v as safety margin? I'm not cool with risking over $200 in lipos on a maybe though, guess thats why I'm charging my NiMHs.
Just buy a cutoff, they are fairly cheap and plug into the esc. I have used them and the alarms before on helicopters when I cheaped out on ESC's that had no or poor cutoffs.
