Are the lipos cold? That has a big effect on lipo performance. But still, I wouldn't think an 8000mah pack would hit 3v per cell... what motor is this on?

Lipos were room temp but it wasn't the problem. After reprogramming the MM to "No - Cutoff" I had no problems and it ran perfectly.
Here is my system.

off topic: can I download the videos from utube or google to my hard drive so I don't have to be online to view them?

Can't see much point trying 6s. You'd need a UBEC and cut-off/LVC, plus it would run really warm, more worth while going for the Quark or MGM.

I guess on 5s you would need a UBEC to?

You can if you have FireFox and install the VideoDownloader plugin.

Yeah.. with 4S a ubec is wise.

Reason for 6s is no one else seems to have an esc to run it. It is a few but cost alot more.

When using IE (internet explorer), once the video is downloaded, it is usually temporarily stored in your temporary internet files folder (usually under C:\documents and settings\username\local settings\temporary internet files\). So, after it downloads, just make a copy to wherever you want. This usually works for AVI, MPG, etc types of files, but does not work for Flash files (SWF). Actually, it usually can be done for SWF files too, but needs extra steps I won't go into here.

The exception to all of this is if the video is actually a realtime stream, which can't be done with IE without some third party app AFAIK.

True. I am running a 9920 + LVC + UBEC = ARGH! Wires. :D

@Brian, still Firefox is better and you know it. ;)

Possibly, but it has to be loaded and some companies don't like you installing new software. Also, it takes longer to load up than IE. So there! ;)
