What does it mean when my Traxxas ESC blinking red?

If the Low-Voltage Detection (LVD) is “ON” when a nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery is used an ESC may show the over-voltage alarm, indicated by a flashing red and green light. When using a NiMH battery in your Traxxas vehicle, it is important that the LVD remains “OFF”.
