In my case its easy, I am using a Mamba25 which has LiPo cutoff.

Without a proper LVC I'd use a timer or stop running as soon as you notice a lack of power.

Do they fit in the stock battery compartment? If they are 30mm wide then I assume they are 40mm long or so.

Nothing wrong with it, it just has very poor ratings compared to many other LiPo's. If you look at the discharge graphs for it(don't remember where I've seen them) you'll see anything over 5C the...

The size does look pretty good. I see it says 6 volts minimum, any idea how it will do on 4.8 volts, or even 4 volts as thats all the Micro-T has under load from the stock battery pack.

Ouch, lithium-ion AAA's? Those type of cells are usually rated at 2C maximum.

I think a 10C LiPo is plenty for the Micro-T as long as its rated at atleast 150mah's of capacity. Mine remains punchy...
