Default Re: lipo trouble

I just meant the scale doesn't matter as in the battery doesn't care if it's in a 1/18 or a 1/10 RC, it's still a 20C XXMAH.

The 1/10 will for sure pull more but the ratings on that battery should be plenty capable, the wiring looks pretty suspect though. Looks like BEC/servo gauge wire.

Exactly. The SC10 Short Course Truck I have has a brushless system and I run a 3200 2S 25C battery. I also have low voltage shut-off on my ESC. If I run it with voltage shut-off, turned off, (for NIMH or NICD batteries) it won't run. I have to run it with the voltage shut-off, Turned ON, Which is made for Lipo batteries. In my opinion, it's going to be your ESC is not programmable for the voltage shut-off option, ON/OFF. My 3200 Lipo will last about 25 minutes in my truck. Not sure if I helped but if you can spare the extra $$ for a Brushless/Brushed ESC with voltage shut-off options, it'd prolly be worth it. I've over charged my Lipo and had it way too low and it's 6 months old and still works perfect.
