Lipo And Brushed
 

Anyone used a lipo pack on a brushed motor/esc? there any issues?

I understand I would need some sort of Lipo cut off for the esc to stop it discharging.

No issues, the lipo is purely a source of power just like any other battery. You will need a lipo cut off just to prevent the battery being discharged too far, I believe novak make one.

That will do for now untill I can pay for brushless

I run a brushed motor with my Reedy 4200 35C lipos and it's awesome. The motor doesnt' seem to wear any faster. I easily get 2 races from them on a 10x2 and when I ran them with my 19 turn money motor in the SC10 I only used up 2400mah in a 10 min race :woot:

You can feel when they start to go and it's probably best you stop there and then to avoid them dropping anymore.
