Savage X Conversion Lipo Question

[Dbnjzb]

So, I have 2 2s lipos in my savage x conversion. First off can't do backflips! Second, when my batteries are done the one had 7.5v left and the other 6.?v left. My cutoff is set for 3.0v/cell. Does that sound right? I feel like I'm getting jipped of some time. And power somewhere.

Also, I had put 5s into my truck with a 2560kv motor and temp got up to about 175 degrees. Also, at full throttle it started cutting out. Is that a bad sign? Should I not try 5s again. Was really excited until that happened. Please help a brother out. Thanks for the help!

What kind of brushless system are you running?

 

[Dbnjzb]

The motor is a Turnigy Trackstar 2560kv. The ESC is a Hobbyking 150amp up to 6s. My spur is 44 and my pinion is a 20. Thanks!

Anybody???

you can't run 5s with 2 batteries for starters. sounds like the batteries may need to be balance charged and cycled a few times as well. on 4s it should have no problem doing a single backflip...

Wow I didn't know that with the 5s! Thanks! I balance charge the batteries each time I charge. They've been cycled maybe 5 times. I feel like I'm doing something wrong! Or have something setup wrong. Thanks.

So, just to make sure, you can't combine a 3s and a 2s battery like you would 2 2s batteries? Why not?
