i agree with most of above but to me adding the cut off to the pack is not a forward move,
1/ it will increase the cost of each pack
2/ your forcing drivers who have a lipo speedo to buy an additional cut off
3/ to remove pack you now need to also remove the reciever wiring from the pack
4/ its easy ot check a lipo speedo or a voltage cut off is fitted.

5/ all systems can be by passed so your back to common sence.

i have purpesly run a trakpower pack till flat, on my own in an open empty space as i like to experience what i preach where possible, no explosion, no fire, the biggest problem is in fact shorting the cell, which is a hazard to any cell format.
we have to educate and trust racers to act sensibly, thay already have that trust.
