A Lipo should NEVER be discharged below 3.0V per cell. Many newer ESCs have a cutoff built in, and you can purchase separate cutoffs for ESCs that do not come equipped. Running without a cutoff until a lipo stops or even close to it would really shorten the life of the pack, if not ruin it the first time. Most Lipo chargers will not even charge the pack if it shows less than minimum voltage fr safety reasons.
