45 degrees here in sunny Florida today and the car is running GREAT. The ESC really loves the cold weather.
However, the voltage on my meter varies between 28.4V and 18V. On a long 2nd and 3rd gear pull, the voltage drops all the way to 18V. It recovers very quickly to 28.3 but 18V seems kinda low. Seems like the lowest it usually goes is about 20V.
Do you think it's because of the cold or are my batteries starting to die? It's going to warm back up in a couple days and I can check then, but I figured you all are in colder climes than me.
What is your voltage range?

And when I say it drops to 18V, I mean just for a microsecond. It starts to recover as soon as I let off the gas.
