Faux drive gen 2 battery build

I have browsed multiple threads and fail to find an answer to my questions - we are attempting to build our own battery for the gen 2. Being that space is limited in the housing, we are trying to determine the best bms for situation. Do we need discharge? It appears that this feature increases the size of the bms substantially. Does the foil drive have something in the housing that handles the discharge? Can anyone confirm that discharge just keeps the battery from going too low? Anyone have suggestions for a bms? I understand this is a lot of questions - I have researched and read and I’m going cross eyed.

Every esc has a voltage cutoff limit abd the remotes tell you battery level. No need for a discharge bms.

As mentioned the esc has a setting to prevent the battery from discharging below a specified volatage.
