Hi good people!
Based on some good advice I've recieved on here, I've decided to try running a Lipo battery in my Bully rock crawler.
So I came back from the hobby shop yesterday with a modest 2S 1000mAh Lipo to get me started. It's tiny! "thumbsup"
I'm running dual ESCs on my rig (Speed Passion Inspire Rock Crawler ESC/Brushless combo).
So before trying the battery I immediately go into the BOTH ESCs menu(s) (using a programming card) and set the low voltage cut off at 3.4v/cell (you can set the LVC within a 2.6 - 3.4v range).
Is it required that I do this for BOTH ESCs? I only ask as one of the ESCs went into LVC pretty much immediately, the ESC kept running (fan running) but the motor connected to that particular ESC wouldn't move.
I obviously dont want to over discharge this Lipo battery, but will having one ESC set up for LVC be of adequate safety enough? If that were the case, I'd set the FRONT axles ESC to have a LVC since that axle is always in use. (rear axle is switched/mixed on my transmitter)
Any ideas good people? Anybody running dual ESCs with a Lipo battery?
