Default sidewinder question

i set my sidewinder to auto lipo cutt-off... dont get but about 15 min of run time.. wanted to know if anyone know what the cut-off voltage in when in "auto-lipo cut-off mode" thinking in might be set to high and it is shutting down to early.... if i dont use "auto lipo cut=off and just set it to a specific voltage cutt-off... the lowest is 3v.. is that to low?
running a bully 1/10 and the battery is a 2cell 1300 30c

its a fairly low capacity battery, at 1300X 18mins that might actually be right :p

If you don't have a meter to check the voltage or a charger with a meter in it. A good way to gauge it is it should take an hour or so to charge at 1 "C". If you have a meter the run time voltage I use is about 7.0 volts

your 18min or so of run time is about right, my XR10 with 2 micro sidewinders running 1300mah 2s packs has 15-20min at best of run time, sounds like you need yo buy a couple more packs, I have 4 for each of my crawlers.
