I think the ESC cut off is on by default, but ive never ran the car for that long ... enough for it to cut off.. Ive just done short burst with it here and there, basically a test drive the first time... Put it this way it was only running for about 4 minutes worth of run time maybe less.

Well i didn't really set the charger to anything, just on lipo setup and put those figures in and charged it.

The only thing i don't understand is the lipo storage and fast charge rate.... also the discharge i don't know a way to turn that off. I don't know if the imax balances and discharges it by default either.

Currently the discharge rate is at 2.0A. I stoped the charger at 110 minutes yesterday and ran the car.. it runs fine... Rightfully i'm told i should charge the battery at 4.2A since its a 4200mAh bat.. I'll try that tonight and keep an eye on it
