Default Lipo voltage regulator

I want to use Lipos with an ESC not specifcically marked for Lipos. i.e no built in voltage protection. What do I need? A Novak smart stop or what? Where can I get one? Are there any other issues apart from voltage protection?

a smart stop is fine, all you want is something that will make sure the car stops at 3v per cell

Modeltech one looks good @ £12.99. For FWD ESC only - ok for mine!

Out of stock though

I'd pay the extra cash and get the Novak one. It's not worth risking your Lipos for the sake of £10 IMHO
