Low-Voltage Cutoff

Sets the voltage at which the ESC lowers or removes power to the motor in order to either keep the battery at a safe minimum voltage (for Lipo batteries). The ESC will monitor the battery voltage all the time, it will immediately reduce the power to 50% and cut off the output 10 seconds later when the voltage goes below the cutoff threshold. The RED LED will flash a short, single flash that repeats (☆, ☆, ☆) to indicate the low-voltage cutoff protection is activated. If you use a NiMH pack, then please set the “Cutoff Voltage” to “Disabled”.

Option 1: Disabled

The ESC won’t cut off the power due to low voltage after you select this option. We do not recommend using this option when you use any LiPo pack (5S LiPo is an exception), otherwise you will irreversibly damage it. However, for avoiding losing power in racing due to low voltage, we recommend using this option (this still may cause damage to your battery). You need to select this option when you use a NiMH pack.

Option 2: Auto (Low)

Low cutoff voltage, not very easy to get the LVC Protection activated, is applicable to batteries with poor discharge capability.

Option 3: Auto (Intermediate)

Medium cutoff voltage, prone to getting the LVC Protection activated, is applicable to batteries with ordinary discharge capability.

Option 4: Auto (High)

High cutoff voltage, very prone to getting the LVC Protection activated, is applicable to packs with great discharge capability.

Warning: If you set the Cutoff Voltage to NONE when you use a LiPo pack, then please pay attention to the power change of your vehicle. In general, the battery voltage gets pretty low when your vehicle is severely losing power, then you should stop using that pack.
