Regarding the cut off when the get down to 3 volts - does the esc tell you on the display how much voltage is left on the lipo or is it just a case of making note of the time you start using it and stopping as soon as the power drops?

TBH with a decent LiPo/brushless setup a lot of people find themselves having to take a break before the batteries get down to cutoff voltage-LiPo gives such consistent power for so long that the human runs flat before the batteries
RE ESC cutoff, most speedos show a noticeable drop in power when the LiPo reaches its cutoff voltage and that's the time to stop driving. Also a lot of ESCs have the facility for the user to program the cutoff voltage, I have mine set at 3.4v per cell for an extra bit of insurance.
