Default Lipo cutoff for dual FXRs

So are the Tekin directions for setting lipo cut off appropriate for dual ESCs? I have a 1300mah 35c 3s battery that is brand new, fully charged, and with the dual ESCs both set to 3s cutoff I got 15 min or less of very light use before they shut down. Seems odd. Basically I was just programming the ESCs and some knocking around the house with the new rig (Berg BTW).

Yea they are correct.

That is about the right amount of run time from your battery. There are things you can do to add run time, lowering the drag brake will definitely help. I run mine at 75 in the rear and 50 in the front, that is enough to keep the rig from rolling on any incline and I like it better because it will not be so abrupt of a stop when you let off the trigger.

I think I have full drag on both. I haven't tweaked it yet, just a starting point. I guess I'll tone those down.

What do you need to turn the drag brake down?

You may be able to do it through ESC button pushes, but a Tekin HotWire has more options......

You can do it thru the ESC pretty easily, no need for Hotwire. Though I will get that eventually.
