I have found 2 things that seem odd and wanted to see if this behaves the same for others...

1. When I have the LVC set to shut down once the lipos are low, I notice that the truck will start to cut out as I drive it after about 10 minutes. To confirm this setting causes this, I changed the setting to reduce speed, and the cutting out goes away.

If I put them in my rustler, the lipos will run another 15 - 20 minutes. When I put a voltage meter on them, the 2S was at 7.68 Volts, the 5S was 11+.

I use MaxAmps 6000 & 8000.

My thought is that under load the voltage may be dropping below the LVC point, and it causes it to cut out.

2. The brakes are strong, I have them set to the softest point, but when I use them, I have to move the throttle really slow. I also set the end point on the radio to 60%.

It doesn't seem to be proportional, I wonder if I should re-program the radio?

Anyone seeing the same things?
