I have a delta force pirate, with hobby wing 180a speed control
l. Set at 1 auto calculate 2 lvc 3.4v
3 timing 15° have 5.5mm connectors on motor leads and batts. and motor .Running 2 revolectric batterys silver 70c 3s series=6s m447 prop .running a tp power 4y motor1800kv temps are good 97 to 110° problem is that it kicks out after half the run to 1/2 speed when the packs still have 3.83 v per cell. Tried two setsor batterys same thing also tried proping down to a 220 prather same thing. Thanks in advance mike:help:

the lvc cuts in premature on these escs. I cut mine to off. i just watch when it starts to slow down then i bring it in...which is usually around 3.8v. You could try lowering it to the lowest setting ans see what it does....maybe allow you a little lower cutoff...adding time. i didnt try this myself however.

That was my next move want to protect the packs!

Not long run time on this boat at all aboat 2 min smaller prop helps some but takes longer to plane.

either put an lvc alarm on it or add a external lvc.......

Take the cell count off 'Auto' & set it for 6 cells manually. The auto setting is known to sometimes allow the LVC to cut out early. If it still happens drop the LVC to 3.2V & see what it leaves your batteries at while resting. Should be around 3.7 - 3.75. If it is still too high drop the LVC to 3.0. If that doesn't work switch it off like kfxguy suggests. I have them all switched off in my race boats.
