From: Austin, TX,
I have a Dragonfly with a pixie 7p ESC and the ICS 50 ESC, I upgraded to the Pixie 7p because I wanted to run the Lipoly's - and I was told that the standard low voltage cutoff is 4.7 so I would need a programable ESC to up the voltlage cutoff to 6v for the lipoly's. So I programed to cutoff at 6v, and I ran the Etech 1200 lipoly for the first time yesterday and it only ran for about 5 min then the motor started cuting off at about 3/4 throttle. So then I could only run it at about 1/2 throttle with it barely overing. So I recharged the battery and tried it agian - same thing. So I dont know whats going on. I have the High performance 370 hummingbird motor. So... maybe its draining the battery to fast or something. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

If your hitting the LVC after 5 min of run time your either pulling a lot of amps out of the battery, something in the heli is getting very hot, or the battery is not being fully charged. Your batteries should be at 8.4v after a full charge.
