One battery is an old one so I got two new ones to test but I get the same result. Both new batteries have had two cycles and I always storage and balance charge them.

Greetings all 🙂 , first time poster long time forum lurker. Been back in to RC cars about 2 years now, I had all sorts growing up nitros and electrics. Glad Tamiya still keep old models going Blitzer beetle was my fav when I was a lad . Any way hello all thank you for all the posts and help I got from them over the past few years mucho thanks.

Hello 🙂 , I have a traxxas 1/16 Vxl Revo that has a strange fault. The lipo cut off voltage is kicking in early, last run all three of my lipos cut off around 3.8volts and two are new batteries. I have set the Vxl 3m esc to NiMH mode so no low voltage cut off. I get them down to about 3.6v /3.3v per cell with a little voltage alarm connected to the battery each run, but I still get reduced run time. Lipo cut off on 18mins / lipo cut off of 18-20mins. I use to get about 1/2 hour per run with my 2s 2200 mah lipos This car was working fine last I used it which was beginning of the year so thinking ESC is dieing since storage ?. Motor is warm but not hot to the touch. I have stripped the car down and cleaned all the bits up re lubed etc and checked gear mesh. any help would be grateful thank you 🤠
