How long do you get with your 1/8th buggy?

[bertie]

Hi All

 

I'm interested to see how long you buggy racers get on your batteries.

 

Can you post your:-

 

1. motor type & what KV it is

2. batteries, how many cells, what mAh?

3. Runtime on your track (this is race time not bashing)

 

I'm keen to learn if a lower Kv = a longer run time?

 

thanks in advance!

Easy answer yes the lower the kv the longer you get its a bit of a no brainer really ive got two one 2100kv and one 1900kv both run on turnigy nano 2x 7.4 5000 mah 60c. So running only 4s and the 1900kv lasted about 5 minutes longer maybe more a guy that raced the nationals last month used dualsky 6000mah 7.4 x2 and on one charge lasted qualifying the race he came 7th I think and a good 10-15 minutes of us having a go with it to show off his setup and his was a 2000kv Orion and it didn't even get warm

even if a 2650kv {castle} you should be able to get 15 mins,we use a 6000mah nanotec and get 20 mins on dirt just and 20 mins on astro,

I'm using 2000kv sensored motor with 5000mah battery and getting just over 15min on dirt track

That's why I'm looking at these dualsky batteries their really good apparently

I've got two set ups. With my 1900kv motor I can just do 20 minutes on dirt with 5000mah 4s gens ace batteries. At the same track using a 1400kv motor on 6s I use about 3500 mah.
