I feel a power loss after 20 minutes or more of running then I STOP but then what if I kept going after that power loss. by power loss I mean im drifting and then the motor just slows down and I know its lipo cut off
If you are running for that long and experiencing power drop off towards the end of your run, that is just the battery dyeing. Li-Po cut off stops the car completely and doesn't allow any power to your ESC/Motor. Hence, your car will stop, dead.
If your ESC is not cutting off like this before the battery is dyeing, you should probably think about increasing the Value of the Li-Po Cutoff on your ESC. The battery should only have a slightly noticeable drop in performance until the Li-Po cutoff kicks in. I run 2.8v Per Cell on the GT 2.0 Pro.
Hope this helps,
Ryan.
