So I just got an used SC10 with a 2S Lipo, but the ESC doesn't have a lipo cut-off feature. For the 2S lipo, I think the cutoff voltage should be 6V.

I'm not planing on buying a separate cutoff unit now so my question is, I should notice a pretty noticeable drop in performance when the voltage reaches 6V right?

I heard that when a 2S Lipo reaches 6V, a Slash will barely move. So obviously you should know that it is time to recharge way before the 6V mark right?

I would not advise trusting the "seat of the pants" method to tell one when to stop running the truck. The battery can be pulled to a dangerous low level long before most users will "feel" or see it as a slow-down. I don't think you will notice it.

You will notice a drop but the discharge curve of a lipo is so steep that even if you drive the car back to the as soon as you notice a drop you can ruin the battery.

What I suggest is that you time your runs and read the voltage after. Keep track and every day run 1-2 minutes longer until you read 6.6v (don't try to use 6v as a guide, that is the ABSOLUTE minimum the cells should be).

on my BL evader you can really notice the differance betwwen 7 and 6V but not so much so with 7 and 8v but idk how it responds under the load of a brushed motor....

the lug

I realize you said you werent "planning" on getting an LVC but......You could spend $25 bucks for this cutoff and spare your expensive lipos. They are simple to hook up........15 mins. max.
