Now on 1 of the forums, someone ran across a lipo limit gadget for .99 cents where 3.3 is shut off limit where a horn goes off to let you know.

These work great better than the cut offs in the esc's I like them because they go off way before the esc's cut off even when set to 3.4 volts on the esc these alarms go off first.

I am wondering about the single buzzer one if it cuts off the same...

FRED here. I found the low voltage limit for lipos which sounds a horn at 3.3 voltage for 1.00 = 1.69 for postage and bought 2 of them. ebay----seller ouyou2010 (15776 ) 7.4-14.8v RC lipo Battery low voltage Alarm indicato 130497915967- Price US $1.00 - cost for 2 is $2.00 + s and h $3.18= $5.18.--- Now for one is 1.00 + $1.59 s and h = $2.59. LOL- It says i saved .20 cents on shipping from ouyou2010.

Have any photos of your LVC alarm front and back is it a single buzzer?
Photos would be sweet!
I don't recal the specs on the single one being 3.3V every place i looked when doing reasearch... I know the 2 buzzer version works like a charm!

I know but most single ones are 3.0V only the twin alarm says 3.3V
SEE http://www.dhgate.com/7-4v-11-1v-low...58bd32cc4.html

Only the guy you show on e-bay states 3.3V for the single buzzer version ....he's wrong it's 3.0V cut off for the singel buzzer version only the two buzzer version is 3.3V...says it right on the back of the unit .

Ok, but also there was an alarm which had 3 settings, off-2.7-3.8 and price was $4.00 +. Now for me, a single horn and double horn are fine as i have a timer in my t-shirt pocket set at 3 minutes as i probably concentrate on driving and how boat behaves and missing the Canadian geese. Now on one site there were 70 alarms and each site alarms had a different description and etc. Best to read each sites alarms to suit your needs. The one item that bothered me was if you use parallel lipos, which lipo would you hook up to or do they hook up to esc which i don't think so. I'm going to have to look further and ask the sellers, how many alarms i need for parallel lipos. Series won't make much difference as the 2 lipos act as one unit in voltage as parallel double mahs and alarms are in the voltage arena. Whew! I did some checking and item # 320669324443 shows the alarm with 3 settings- price is US $6.95 and will get popular and the price will raise pretty fast.

The twin buzzer ones i spoke of above you put one on each lipo used the pins on the buzzer alarm slip into the lipos balac tap connector so if you use multiple lipos use one on each one.

Ok all got a supervee locally , well not local I had to drive a little to meet the guy halfway. The boat is heavy since its fiberglass and not abs plastic. Took it out for a drive and lets say I am very very happy with it overall. Takes a little longer to get on plane , guessing thats due to how heavy , but when she does , she takes off like a rocket!! Pretty smooth going straight a little bouncy taking a turn but not bad. Brought it back to shore and checked everything out , motor was pretty warm (didnt bring my temp gun so no real temps) but could still touch it and esc was only slightly warm. But every thing looked good after the run. This has the AM radio though so I thought about putting the spektrum that was in the shockwave into it since Im just parting out that boat.
