|  Inexpensive ESC for Lipo's
Hey I have an axial scx10 tr dingo and would like to run Lipo's but I was told that the ESC that I am running (AE-1) doesn't have a Lipo cutoff so it would be dangerous to run a Lipo with that kind of ESC. So what I am getting at is cN anyone give me some advice of a good but cheap ESC with lipo cutoff? Thanks it is very appreciated!! |

This is the alarm I use on my SCX10 with the Stock ESC as well as on my traxxas XL5 ESC. It is good for 2 and 3 cell lipos  http://www.commonsenserc.com/advance...tn855&x=7&y=12 |

get the new ae-2 by axial it's what now comes with the new trail ready scx trucks and it is 2 cell capable meaning it will let you run a 2 cell lipo batterie and when it get's two low it will cut off hope this helps they are bout 60 with tax.

You could look into an outcry esc but they don't have a lipo cut-off. I have one and a novak lipo cut-off it is not installed yet so I don't have first hand experience but could be something to look into.

A Castle Creation Sidewinder would work well for your application. It has a built in Lipo cut off and will go up to 3 cell lipo batteries. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXAUHP&P=FR |

look on ebay. they have some really cheap that don't cutoff the power but alarm you so you know that it's time to stop running. These are great CHEAP solutions but I would recomend getting a castle sidewinder esc as they are cheap and pretty good for the money. drag brake and lipo cutoff on the sidewinder. great tools for crawlin http://cgi.ebay.com/New-RC-Lipo-batt...item3a5342a274 http://cgi.ebay.com/7-4V-14-8V-RC-Li...item1e62482c3f |
