the guys at work say that lipos do not discharge like that, it will run full blast until it dies.. there is no way that is true! i can tell when im getting low on battery with my lipo... answer?

2. I raced a E-revo brushless and out of the gate i got him on the hole shot.. but then he out of nowhere and waxed me.. he is running 2- 3s lipos in it. im running a 3s in my 8ight.. more info??

please anyone with decent knowledge on either subject/question, i would appreciate a response... thanks!
First, you shouldn't full charge a lipo until you're ready to use it. Storage charge them if they'll sit for more than a day or so.

Second, it sounds more like you have motor heat issues than lipo problems. Check your motor temps.
