I run the LVC at 3.2 as recommended to me by CC tech support. I did run a fully charged pack all the way until it hit the LVC. Mine is a baja 5t and I would like to shave at least two pounds of my Truck.

Heck the truck body alone weighs a couple pounds... So on your 5b, you are already 2 pounds lighter. Mine is bone stock. No extra aluminum or anything. The only thing is, i was running a seperate RX pack because a fellow Forum member had trouble with his BEC, and so did I, He ran an RX pack and had no problems...so I am now too. The RX pack is about 10oz or over 1/2 pound. Some guys have had no problems with their BECs on the XL. I did not want to risk it. Your buggy with the little bit smaller tires, body, and without the RX pack should come in about 3 lbs lighter than mine 5t. Just guessing. I would LOVE to get mine down to 25lbs...but I dont think that is going to happen.

I am not sure how to check to see how many Mah went back into the pack. I assume you mean because of regenerative braking...or maybe I am way off here. Does the data logging keep track of Mah going back in? If so, let me know..I will look. -Kirk
