    Use the Nmh ,I believe Lipo is suppose to cut off at low voltage as to not damage your Lipo batteries.

    That setting is for the low voltage cutoff, what voltage are you planning? The nihm setting should work, but you should check the numbers

    Are you looking at the 1060 brushed or 860 dual brushed? I don’t think the 1060 can handle 12v.
