**Need a good LVC! -** 04.21.2007, 11:05 PM

Hello, I have been looking at LVC's all around and I have yet to find something. I would like to have one that connects via the taps, much like the Cell Guard from dimension engineering. However:

I'm afraid I don't think CellShield (or LipoShield) would be the right
product for this application as I think the cutoff behaviour would be such
that the reversing would be engaged whenever the battery is depleted
Best regards,

I cannot count how many times someone has referred me to a bad/incompatible LVC, so I am really only interested in what LVC's you guys have actually used with success. Thanks.

Most of us just use the LVC built into most of today's ESCs. As far as an external LVC, Mike has one in his store that is supposedly for car use...

I have the only Cell Shield (by Dimension Engineering) that is compatible with cars, but I don't use it. It has a few issues that wouldn't be noticed in an airplane, but are annoying for car use. I was told that this item would be produced if the demand were large enough, but it seems this project fell off the map when I stopped receiving replies from Dimension while I was testing it.

MetalMan, can you tel what issues?
Becouse i bought that http://www.dimensionengineering.com/LipoShield.htm
Now I am little bit worried :(
I have tested it on Plane it works good but what issue on car?
Is it Reverse issue?

I tried that dimension engineering one once and it just cut out randomly. The voltage on the batteries was well above the cut off and it would just stop. I didnt reall goof around with it to much to figure out why. I just switched to the one Mike sells in the RCM store. It works well enough. Just cuts the throttle when the voltage drops. Simple, no bells and whistles, but it works.
