Since, I've returned to RC as a noob again, I am ignorant to all the aspects of LiPo batteries. I was confused as to why a Superbee would shutdown when a 2s 7.4 volt LiPo dropped to 6 volts.

A Guide to Understanding LiPo Batteries answered my questions and more. I am still left with one question. How long can I expect to run my 5ive T(stock RX and servos) on a 2s 52mAh LiPo before I would need to recharge?
 
Thanks guys, this is awesome news to me. Getting excited about breaking it in. If things go right it might be this weekend. My wife is even starting to hound me to get it going. She calls it "our truck" when she talks about it. When I let her drive it and she gets excited or enjoys it, we might become a two 1/5 scale household. That's usually how things go with us.

TDC....here is a link to a cheap battery tester.

Or you can mod your 5ive so you know what the voltage is just by looking at it.

Cool little meter. I'll check voltage with a fluke meter until I get the hang of things.
