Charged it back up and only took 2300mah to fully charge it up again. I never let them hit voltage cut-off just to be safe.
thats awesome and funney you mention that because I was also looking into the smaller 11.1 for my yard truck build due to space limitations but I was always told theat the reg esc/motors and esspecially the MFU's should not be run on anything more than 9.6 volt or 7.4 lipo because it would fry the MFU.... im guessing that isnt true..... or are you using some kind of voltage limiter?

That is 1000% TRUE!! I never run stock electronics, they're all Servonaut from Germany . PM me if you wanna know more about them, but they're not cheap.

Thank you! Yes 7.4 lipo won't hurt them, just the 11.1v will definitely fry an MFU.
