Need some advice on this.
Running a LRP esc with ckrc 2s 1100 mah battery.
Wondering what king of lipo cut off will work.


Looking at one like this but after reading the applications part it sounds as if its only for planes. Does that even matter?

The only problem I see with the first one is that it has a "soft cutoff" for planes. Since it gradually reduces power to the motor, it may not be as noticeable in a crawler since crawlers don't draw as much juice. You'd probably be better off with the Novak since it cuts off the power completely and has a visual warning as well.
 
I was wondering about that... much thanks for the help. Gonna get the novak one then.

I assume the novak 2s-4s would be the better bet to go with as if I ever got a 3s or 4s battery I can always use it and not need to buy another unit.
Im thinking the auto detect would see what kind of battery its connected to???
