okay so i'm making the switch to a lipo set up for my crawler. i'm gettin the charger for valentines day from my girlfriend and i am looking at what else i need. Can anyone send me the link for the ebay cut off that attach to the battery i'm new and i'm not sure what i'm looking for. also i have the older xl5 and i think i can only run a 2s lipo but correct me if i'm wrong. also if so are there any other waterproof ECS's that can handle a 3s+ lipo?

the only waterproof 3s lipo capable esc i know of is the HH brxl and the traxxas vxl , as for the ebay thing its not a cutoff its a alarm, it doesnot shut your truck down it simply makes a high pitched beep to let you know youve reached the batterys limit, if you want a sheap cutoff then look into the novak smartstop 2s or 3s, i have the one from ebay and it works good for what it is, here is a link to the ebay one

you didn't say you were getting a ballancer, need one of those.

the balancer is built into the charger. and with the ebay lipo alarm where does it install? do i just plug it into the reciever or what?

The low voltage alarm will wire direct to the battery wires ahead of of the esc. Typically at the male deans, other manufacturers connector.
