does this esc have a lipo cutoff?

yes that is what it says on line I have one in a boat. How ever I use nimh batters but it does shut the motors down when the voltage drops

Yes you can. Just make sure to turn on the Lipo switch on the ESC. This allows the ESC to detect voltage.

Yes. It's equipped w/a Exceed 8.4v 3000 mAh Ni-Mh out the box. It does use a Alt. Batt LiPo 2s is recommended.

Yup...make sure you get the right kv motor though and use proper gearing to ensure no overheating of the esc or motor

Yes, it took me a while to figure this out and almost returned mine as well, this green / red flashing sequence is the result of the esc being in low voltage protection state for LIPO batteries and out of the box this car comes with a NiMH battery pack. After the light flashes green / red (OR red / green for that matter) release the button and it will shut off. Then proceed with the instructions to to turn the low voltage protection state off (confirmed by a number of beeps). When turning it on the LED should light a continuous red now. Hope this helps ...

I am running a Leopard 3300 kv motor with this ESC and a Venom Sport Power 5000 40c 2c Lipo and I am extremely happy with this product.

No,you will need to solder the battery connectors.the motor wires are just 4mm connectors on esc that your motor just plugs into.

Yes it can. Automatically switches to low volt protection when you do run Lipo. I highly recommend a 2s lipo tho you will love the difference

Well you have to upgrade your pinion and spur gear then add a 3cell lipo and you can archive 60+ mph But i had to put a fan on both my esc and motor to keep them cool because the electronics overheat fast. But research the gear ratios online. Mine goes 63mph as far as i have tested. So much fun. Get a chassis t-bonevprotector tho. At that speed if u spinout u can break your chassis.

It is all based on how you drive the vehicle. If you are driving it hard and full throttle all the time your battery will die quickly. You should consider getting a 2s 7200 lipo

The ESC does support 3s, but most of the vids on youtube that speak about recommend against it. You'll be replacing parts alot more frequent if u do...i hav two venom 2000mah 2s lipos in mine and thats plenty wheel poping power...even thow i hav geared down mine. The largest 2s that will fit, according to the forums is 2400mah. And if u decide to go 3s, the largest that fits is 1400mah. I hav not and will not use 3s on mine. This is for the brushless version...the brushed, stick to nimh...lipos will burn out ur motors faster than nimh...check out youtube and forums to get better info

Not if you use the appropriate charger. Good LiPo chargers monitor the voltage as they're charging the battery and will automatically cut off when full capacity is reached.

Not sure, no information or specs comes in the box, I'm just going to get a high amp rated ESC to control it. Maybe 40+

You do need the following, A soldering or heat shrink to connect the esc to the batteryYou need a usb programer, if u want an easy way to program the esc without have to use the manual wayIf your upgrading from brushed to brushless, you gonna need to change pinion gear and spur gear to different size. Otherwise the esc will get hot and u have to wait for it to cool down.Lastly u need some type connector between esc and battery, i recommend ec5 connector for better performance

Yes. This is designed for brushed motors only. A brushless ESC will have 3 wires for the motor and a brushed ESC has only 2.

Yeah it will. I have mine in a traxxas slash lcg it's crazy fast. With the extra weight u have. You should go with a higher lipo. I use a 3 cell.

Yes, depending on which type of plug you have on your ESC. But this battery comes with a "universal" plug system where you can change ends between several popular styles. However I'd recommend changing the ends for an actual soldered plug.
