Mark, I have countless ESC's, onlt one, at the moment, is LiPo ready, and then it don't autodetec the cell count, so you still have a fundamental issue in that you MUST select the cut-off point, I don't know anyone localy who has a LiPo cell enabled ESC, the newest of the new are LiPo enabled. But those who want the cells (club racers) tend to be at the bottom of the ESC pool, usualy running second hand ESC's.
As much as education is the correct phrase, you have to look at it from another point of veiw, there are a lot of people out there who turn up at meetings, and no matter how much you educate them, they still do it wrong. You then throw in a LiPo cell, which HAS to have a LiPo profiled charger and either a voltage cut-off or lipo enabled ESC that HAS to be set correctly, your just asking for trouble.
Not trying to aruge the toss or create ill feeling and do see where you are coming from. But I am a great beleiver in Murphys first law of idiocy, if it can be done wrong, you will always find someone who CAN do it wrong.
