|  LVC suggestions... I'm in the process of purchasing an 11.1V 2200MaH LiPo for my Gecko II... What I need is a low voltage cut-off for it 'cos I run an EVX... I don't want to try rely on "Oh! Now it's just about dead enuff, gotta swap out!!" as I'm not a good judge of when a pack's had enuff... So... I need suggestions for an LVC I can use with that combo... Any ideas from the LiPo masters here? |

| Novak just came out with some new LVCs. http://www.teamnovak.com/products/li...ule/index.html But if you wanna go the cheap route the "oh! now it's just about dead enuff, gotta swap out!!" really isn't that bad. Lipos dump QUICK and it's easy to tell when they need to be swapped. |

| A 3 cell will show voltage drop really quick. I have been able to catch mine before the LVC even kicks in. The novak one is a good choice if you dont feel safe with that method though. You could also upgrade your ESC to a lipo compatable like the Mamba max. |

| sure does. make sure you update the controller too, version 1.07 I think. It has better lipo cutoff functions. Super easy to program. |
