Ok, those of you in the know, please help clear this up:

In the instructions included with the boat AND the PDF found on the ProBoat site it clearly states

"Be sure to use a PRB3311 Programming module to adjust the cutoff voltage when
using Li-Po batteries to protect against over discharging the batteries."

HOWEVER, on the Proboat website, in the "Tech and Spec" section, it states:

Tech Notes

The 60-amp electronic speed control is factory set in Li-Po mode.

Which is it, is it set for LiPo OR is it set for Ni-MH

Do I need to get the programming module just to play it safe?
:help:

I was told by Horizon tech support on the phone that the ESC is programmed from the factory for LiPo's.

the esc is set for lipo's from factory, but i have the module and used it to make sure it was and to adjust timing, cutoff and throttle settings to linear. But as i stated i already had the programmer from having to set up my MG
