Lipoing a Raptor 30?

[HummerMan]

Ok, I HATE being the new guy that can't seem to work the search feature. But I really couldn't find what I was after... :roll: Anyways I want to get a nice Lipo setup for my TT Raptor 30 V2. I have a Lipo back for my Electric Rustler 1/10 Stadium Truck so I am not new to Lipos. I am using a SuperBrain 989 Charger and Hyperion LBA10 Balancer. My question is how do you know when to turn the battery off before it gets below 3.2 volts per cell? My trucks ESC turns itself off, but that would be VERY bad for a helicopter LOL. Are their products that beep or anything? What size battery would you guys recommend? And what is a good regulator. Do I need anything else? Thanks for you help guys, I appreciate it!

hi hummerman...i use one of these in one of my rappy v2s...kinda pricey, but the faq's should answer many of your questions about how long the lipo will last, etc...there are many regulators that you can use with a lipo...castle creations is coming out with an inexpensive one that puts out 10 amps...

What sized pack do you guys recommend? I would like to stick with Maxamps as they are who I have used for batteries in the past.
