Let's back up to your first post (used HZ Super Cub LP). The Super Cub LP still comes with the brushed 480, but is now powered with a 3S 11.1v LiPo. The only difference in the RX/ESC between the discontinued Super Cub and the Super Cub LP may be: Whether or not that little jumper is across two of the pins on the ESC OR not evident which determines the LVC when using either the previous 8.4v NiMH battery w/jumper or no jumper on the RX/ESC with a 3S 11.1v LiPo like the Super Cub LP. Even with that little jumper removed on the earlier Super Cub for 3S 11.1v retrofit the LVC on my Super Cub's RX/ESC is slightly below the recommended 9.0v LVC. This means that if you have a LiPo with a poor cell with the three cell voltages at LowVoltageCutoff the three cell voltages of a not-so-balanced 3S LiPo could be say ... 2.65v, 3.10v, and 3.00v = 8.75v ... which translates to punishing your LiPo.

What is even WORSE is if you still see a little jumper across two of the ESC pins ... then the LVC is set for the lower voltage cutoff of a 8.4v NiMH battery ... OUCH! when using a 3S 11.1v LiPo. Always best to land any plane just before LVC no matter what setup, even if it's ESCs LVC is at 9.0v and the 3S 11.1v LiPo has perfectly matched cells. An experienced pilot can tell when the throttle power is under 10v getting close to 9.6v with a 3S 11.1v LiPo.

Any way you need to get one of those little LiPo cell checkers from CSRC, E-flite, etc so you can keep tabs on the overall condition of your 3S LiPo by seeing how much mismatch between cell voltages ... say a couple minutes after LVC discharge, after 15 minutes of resting bounce back cell voltage recovery and during recharge (say at 11.8v and full recharge of 12.0v-to-12.6v). For those with LiPo balancers that don't have individual cell readouts (like RTF LiPo balancers you definitely need to invest in a LiPo cell checker). That is the best way to get a pulse on the condition of your 3-cell LiPo batteries.
