new to hobby and was talked into senton mega V3 at LHS. i soon realized i needed more power, so i made the swap over to brushless with the hobbywing max10 sct. man this thing scoots!
since switching over to brushless, im now entering the world of lipo batteries and im getting a little lost in all the info. i bought the hobbywing program card and i cant for the life of me find the low voltage cutoff threshold values. the card just has the options: disabled, low, intermediate and high. i left it at the default (intermediate) and when i get home and storage charge my battery, charger says 3.6v. from all my research, im believe its safe to go down as low at 3.4v, correct? if so, i don't know what the program card low option cut off really is.
i only have one battery so far, a lectron pro 3s 50c 5200mah. i only run it on grass. i was getting about 12 mins in a field with medium grass to some sporadic thin single weeds. i was hoping if it was safe to bring the lvc to 3.4v, i might get a little more time running the senton. for comparison, i was getting close to 20 mins on the stock 3300 nimh battery.
or is this unsafe and wishful thinking and the safest easiest option is to just get more batteries?
also, from what i understand, my truck is going into lvc and not overheating because my batteries say 3.6v when i get home and i lose power EXCEPT steering?
when a rc goes into thermal shutdown, does it lose all power including steering?
