Questions about LiPo batteries

I’m making an RC car right now and I’m using 3.7V 1s LiPo batteries. I’ve become aware of the importance of a protection circuit when working with LiPos due to the dangerous discharge levels but every protection circuit I find online is a bit too big for my project which is a tiny RC car. Does anyone know of a tiny enough protection circuit I can use just so the battery discharges safely enough

Oh I see I guess I’ll see if the manufacturer of my battery has one or if not buy a different one How tiny could I make a charging circuit if I wanted to charge the battery while still connected to the car

I use TP4056, they're pretty small, hope they're small enough for your project

Ok. If I wanted to use a buck-boost converter to 3.3V then would it be alright to just connect the battery in parallel to the converter and the charging circuit and then the converter to the ESP32 3.3V
