RE: lowering voltage help
from my experience with tam tanks, I do not need to but a resistor or diode to run lipos, not sure if the board of those HL s are that sensitive to voltage increases, also take note that lipos should not be disc harged below 2.5v per cell as this will damage the cells. Best find out what is teh low voltage cut off for teh tank too. Good luck with your lipo conversion then
