How to adjust lvc cut-out on Arrma Granite blx( newest model) esc RESOLVED

[Cam1234]

I am aware that currently the lvc cut-out occurs at around 3.7. I would like to lower it to 3.3 or 3.2(because i know this is the lowest you should really go with any lipo). This is because i typically take out my rc for quite long periods of time. So could anyone either give me a step by step explanation on how to or send me a link to a video that explains how to. I am aware that i could find one myself but i feel like this forum knows best when it comes to how to handle arrma cars and i want to make sure that i do it correctly. Thanks.

If you have the BLX100 look in your manual for ESC settings and change to nimh setting but you will now have NO LVC so you will need a lipo voltage alarm you can set to what voltage it will sound and tell you pretty much to stop at.

Thank you. However, is this really the only way that i can do this?

Yep there is not a way to set LVC unless you get a different ESC from either Castle or Hobbywing I believe, but can only turn it off on the BLX100 by changing it to nimh setting

OK. So how much are these lipo voltage alarms. Can you recommend one?

They are super cheap and worth saving your $20-100 lipo for sure, here's a 2 pack for like $6 https://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-RC-Lipo...-/382587534186?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

Plug it into the balance plug on the lipo is all you have to do after setting the desired voltage for the alarm to sound.

It worked, my run time is better now. The battery gets slightly warm but that is expected. Thanks.

3.2/3.3 is really low, even if you could adjust the esc, I wouldn't go that low.

so do you recommend 3.4, 3.5

Yeah, those would be safer IMO.
