So you are managing to run a single 970 with the old evx... Must have the gearing just right!!!! I ran a pair of those soup cans in a maxx once (before brushless) and it was insane. I could melt the solder off my side by side nimhs... I most likely had way to much gearing in that beast. Ahh, the days when I was r/c dumb...

Anyways, that is not a super high draw setup, so you should be fine. Just swap the pack that goes on the bec and lvc side every run, and make sure your lipos are charging back up to close to their rated capacity. Often capacity is a good indication that the batts are being pulled too hard. But I have no idea what voltage the smart stop switches off at. You are close to getting 5000mah out of them so you may be ok. Just keep running them, if they crap out, can em!

You may have OCD, do you step on cracks in the sidewalk? Do you try to count to even numbers all of the time? Do your friends make fun of you? Do you have any friends? Do you call your cat Mr. Kitty? Do you wear just one glove, and dance like a coffe shop employee? Just wondering as those can be signs of OCD, or being a fluffer...
