no, it would be easier to simple measure the voltage over both packs in series, and loop that back through the LVC to the receiver.

Run time is difficult to calculate- too many variables. But, with 8000mah lipos I would guess in excess of 30-40 minutes with normal driving, abit less with lots of high speed stuff...

It can be wired up to both packs so no worries on it. Just have to figure which is the main hot and ground.


Peace!

has anyone figured out how to hook up a lvc to the 3905 yet? I ordered 2 6000mah packs and want to run them in my maxx as well as my e-revo. I'll bevkeeping my nimh packs for wet runs but would like to be able to through the lipos in it when the revo is broken, which seems to be happening alot lately! Not from crashing, just twisted shafts from BL power!

I asked this question to the staff at MaxAmps. Use a 2s lvc on the side that opperates the servos as this pack will see more drain. Try the sides seperately, you won't get much but w/ one side the esc will light for a second and the servos will move a bit. I ran my new 6ah packs last night and after 12 minutes it was still pulling wheelies and the voltage was at 7.5v on each pack still. Very impressed!
