Nic01 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 With the quad, I was getting 13 minutes with a 1500mah 3S and 25 minutes with a 2200mah 3S, but obviously the RC cars have bigger and 2 batteries! So, just wondering what sort of time of total thrashing it around would 2, 5900 2S's get about? As those are the ones I plan on getting.

evssv Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 hard to say tbh...there's a lot of variables. ...but 25-45 mins maybe....depends on rc...terrain. ...driving style ect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmini Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Depends on the motor esc, type of driving, over what your driving. To many factors to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic01 Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Rough guess? Am I looking at 10/20/30 minutes or even more? With just driving it around, full throttle sometimes. Just wondering what size batteries to get. With this maybe.http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__25136__Basher_SaberTooth_1_8_Scale_Truggy_ARR_.html Edited August 20, 2015 by Nic01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Get the biggest mah that will fit, with a minimum of 40c discharge. As madmini says, there are far too many variables to give an answer, specific or non specific Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) This is a impossible question to answer with the little information that you have given us, there are so many different variables that will effect the final answer. This makes its very hard to give you a time without knowing what car you'll be running, age of the batterys and specs of the batterys. I'm sure someone will be able to give you a rough answer but you'll need to give us more information. Edit, you hadn't posted the link when I started typing.

jordan_bench10 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I get 40 mins + 6s savage flux hp 2200kv geared at 20/44 2x 3s 20-30c 5000mah. Need I say anymore in stock form I was seeing around the hour with my driving style was a bit on off to start with as electric was new to me but as soon as I learnt all about applying the throttle smoothly that was it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I used to run 5,000mAh 4s packs in a Losi 8ight-Te it gave me roughly 20-25 minutes depending on how hard and fast I drove it. If you expect 15 minutes, then anything else is a bonus in that sort of RC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) Hobbyking have some 7600mah traxxas plug lipos 3s high c rating made for the Erevo. There in the UK warehouse too. Go to hobbyking then the search bar and type traxxas lipo. There's tons of good ones from zippy or nanotech I'm tempted to buy this for a practice lipo for my slash 4x4. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__32792__Turnigy_nano_tech_5000mah_3S_40_80C_Lipo_Pack_Slash_Slash_4x4_EU_Warehouse_.html Edited August 21, 2015 by RCbutcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 yep... I keep doing something wrong and I'm not sure what... :/ Focusing on the rear diff, as they fail the most, try an ally diff cup and hardened crown gear, both available on ebay. Top quality bearings too, these three things should help, but I'm not promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
