The brushed SC10 comes with a lo-voltage cut off.
does it? didnt know that.
I know the losi XXX sc comes as brushed with low voltage cutoff.

Truth is tho, running 2s lipo packs in these brushed sct trucks will wear out the motor in 10-15 battery packs. granted, that equates to 5-6 hours of runtime (25 minutes per 2s 5000mah pack) but still, the motors will last longer on 6cell nimh packs due to the lower voltage.

IMO, there isn't enough of a difference in performance to justify lipo in a vehicle with a brushed motor.
