but this had negative effect when using Stock/Low Load.

we found setting cutoff custom 6.7v = "lipo end3.3v/cell(Mod)" = "lipo end3.15v/cell(Stock)".

depend on Cutoff performance, this also had bad effect when Lipo already
reach near the Cutoff and Kicked with Turbo.

So basically, if you set your cut-off voltage the same for stock and mod, and run both cars to the cut off, then measure both batteries, the mod battery will have a higher voltage, because they both hit the cut off voltage under different loads. When the load is gone, you get the true voltage

If this makes sense:
Mod: Cutoff voltage = V Battery(no load) - V drop (bigger V drop=Higher Battery voltage)
Stock: Cutoff Voltage = V Battery(no load) - V drop (smaller V drop=Lower Battery voltage)

So, be careful about cut-off voltage in stock classes according to irgo's findings? (use a higher setting)
I hope I've got that right
Thank you all defcon,irgo and will27

so.. i will need to raise the Cut-off voltage for Stock.
