So I got the little LHI low voltage beeper today. I have a 7.4v 5200mah 35c Lipo. What should I set the low voltage warning at? 3.4v? Or can I set it lower?

I have read about that as well. Most of those seemed to be people who upgraded to brushless setups. I'll see how long they hold up with this brushed setup. I imagine that upgrade will happen soon...

So I ordered an upgrade on the motor and gearing already. I wanted to stay brushless using 2s Lipo. I run this indoors a lot so anything more will be kind of overkill. I got the Arrma 15t 540 with...
