All of my Compros do the cutoff thing. I've been pounding away at getting an 1/8 scale parking lot racer together and am very dissatisfied with what I've wound up with.

I am now running with no overcurrent protection at all and consequently, no low voltage cutoff. The 30C Neu battery seems to be doing fine in that it barely gets warm.

I was running my buggy on 4S with a MM esc, Feigao 8L motor and 18/44 gearing and clocked my buggy many times at speeds of 63 to 66 mph, using a Bushnell gun. The heat was getting to be a problem though, so I "upgraded" to a Compro 22418 and Neu 1.5d (2700kv). Same buggy, same gearing, same tires; just different esc and motor and I'm now running the 5S pack. I should be going faster. The fastest speed I'm getting now is 52 mph. Talk about an $800 let down. I was doing better with the $135 MM and the $80 Feigao on a cheaper battery than I'm doing now.

The weekend before last, I actually had people backing out when they found out that they had drawn me to race against. Last weekend, I was knocked out in the first round. I'm going back to the MM and Feigao on 4S.

I'm thinking that I need to sell this 1.5d.

So...how hard can you push a Feigao motor anyway. Do you guys think that it will explode on 5S?
