You can take them down lower than 3.8 V per cell but it's not great for the loggevity of the pack
I think your figures are quite reasonable Wayne.
What you will see, If you put a watt meter on and run your motor, is the voltage will go lower as the pack comes under load. If you start pulling enough amps to get the pack to it's C rating then you will see the voltage drop quite a bit below 3.8V per cell but as soon as the load comes off, the voltage will come straight back up again.
