Alex97 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Run time dependes on how trigger happy you are, so anything from 17 to 27min run times. I'm not sure what your about damaging the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Just check the temperatures - ESC, motor, connectors, cables .... if all seems OK, I don't see why not. If its getting hotter each time, just let it cool down a little bit ... Al. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbacca Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Are you talking about using 5 packs at one time? Will there be room in the chassis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Your car will have a maximum temperature that corresponds with the set-up, if the set-up is correct then you can run and run with no issues. If you're geared up slightly for more speed, then cooling off periods will be needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjagaiden Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 5 packs back to back. That's endurance for you. My concentration / coordination span would run out way before the 5 packs did. A little IR thermometer is a good thing to have in your pocket to keep an eye on temps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
