Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / November 2005Orion Li-Po
FWIW, I noticed on the RCCA website that Orion has come out with a plastic encased 7.4v lipo battery for R/C cars. There is some interesting discussion on it. I am very excited to see this. Wonder how they took care of the low voltage cut-off issue? I am looking to see new ESCs designed for LiPos with that technology built in. Now we just need the price to come down and we will be sitting around talking about, "Remember when we only had NIMH batteries? Races were only five minutes and we thought that was great!" According to the posts on the site, the $199 is MSRP. They expect the retail to be around $125. I also believe there may be some discussion of low voltage cut-off in the forum. There is speculation, but no answers, on the low voltage issue. Price is not bad, but still needs to come down before you can get most people over to LiPo for regular use. I can see two of these in an electric monster! Now that's cool :) fdadfdfd > There is speculation, but no answers, on the low voltage issue. > > Price is not bad, but still needs to come down before you can get most > people over to LiPo for regular use.

Now that's cool :) airplane dudes with older esc uses a liposave or lipowatch tool. connect it to the battery and a led will blimp is the voltage gets to low or a beeper is somethimes used. There is no cuttof only a warning. TM > FWIW, I noticed on the RCCA website that Orion has come out with a > plastic encased 7.4v lipo battery for R/C cars.
