RE: Low voltage cutoff source
Well if its an XL-5 slash LVC's won't work, what you need is a low voltage alarm. They plug in the balance port of the battery.
Go to ebay type in "LiPo Low Voltage Alarm" around 100 will pop up
I've got the red with the single buzzer, and the greens with a single buzzer, they both work fine and will alarm when any cell his 3.4(or was it 3.2) Volts
Just a note they will NOT turn off the ESC, or give any feedback like slowing the motor it is mostly auditory (unless you can see the blinking LED's), but damn is that siren annoying I doubt you could stand running it for a minute after it alarms.
