Jason, one for you....Ive heard that you can take a LiPo down to 5V (2 cell) aslong as it isnt under heavy load without damaging the cells.

So for example, if you left the LiPo plugged into the ESC and it trickled to 5V you could be ok, but if you were in race conditions you wouldnt want it below 6V.

Ever heard that one?

BUT safe and best practice is stick to 6 volts cut off
