Can you run a 3 cell Lipo batt with an LRP Q2 speed control. Just running the upgrade Kyosho motor.
Thanks............ :)

as long as the total voltage isnt higher than a standard 6cell pack is, it will be fine.

Im am not familiar with the LRP Q2. My guess would be that it is rated for no more than 8.4 volts. Maybe a 2 cell Lipo... but you still need to be concerned with cut-off voltage. I'd stick with NiMH packs unless you plan on running a brushless setup.

Balsa products makes an LED indicator for 1-3 cell lipo setups where the light goes out when voltage drops. Certainly not perfect, but better than nothing.

there's plenty of devices that will prevent the lipo from damaging due to low voltage on the airplanes sites... i got one that i bought along with the lipos but since i'm using a mamba esc i dont need it but i'm keeping it just in case :cool:
