Just set the cut-off to a higher and safe number like 3.4v and it will be fine. That small 200mah difference isn't a big deal.

If you want to risk your lipos, esc, truck, and possibly life thats up to you.

Don't be so over-dramatic. Batteries in series see the same current. They will discharge at the same rate. If you run the batteries down to 0 mah left you were running them dangerously low to begin with.

True and not true - You need to also consider voltage under load.

Batteries of different make, capacity, age etc will behave differently under load causing one battery to get significantly stressed.

Safety first - don't mix...

Is the Truck airborn yet?:party:

Muggydude 09.18.2010 07:59 PM

Mine? Yes. Spent all last weekend backflipping it off a skate ramp. Broke a few turnbuckles!

You can get them for $28 shipped on ebay.

Nice. Mine made a huge difference. My rear rod ends were worn so bad the rear tires would point outward ever time I hit the gas. That problem is completely gone now.
