The BK ESCs are nice power-wise, but I don't like to trust a simple heatshrink shroud to protect against shorts. When I had my 20120, I made a little tray with foam padding on the bottom and sides to pad it and to provide insulation.

If you have the full spektrum radio, you set the failsafe positions of the steering and throttle during the binding process.

The LVC should put the ESC into a neutral condition if it senses the batteries are getting too low. Is there some type of tiny adjustment dial on it anywhere to set the neutral output? Generally, the receiver puts out a 2ms signal at full throttle, 1ms at full brake/reverse, and 1.5ms at neutral. When the batts get too low, the LVC interrupts the throttle signal and outputs a neutral signal instead. If not, the ESC is going to interpret that as "go". You could verify this with an oscilloscope, but not too many people have those.
