stock battery run time?

[always eating mud]

mine only last about 10 mins, maybe i didn't let it fully charge? i think i let it charge for about 4-5 hrs, guess thats not enough for the first time? also, when its starts dieing, it moves in reverse but not forward, how about everyone else? maybe i set something up wrong? thanks, Matt

Mine dont last long either. I went to a GP3300 and it lasts for more than an hour maybe even longer. I havent had a chance to run it to the drop yet.:shock:

Did you read the book that came with it? It usually tells what charge time is.

yeah i think it said 5 or 6 i just put it on the charger now, (8 o clock) how long do you think i should let it charge? i didn't read anywere how long you should after the first time

I found my book to my WK useful some what but in other areas not really.
My stock battery runs dead in about 12 minutes so i'd say 10 is normal. I bought a 3800mAH battery from local hobbytown usa.

it usually takes 2 or 3 charge / drain cycles to get a battery up to speed ( no pun ) - you might find a noticeable difference after that.

I dumped mine, got 2 high mAh battteries, and a quick charger - about 25 minutes charge, and I'm good to go...

thanks guys, i just came in from buildin a course out back, pretty big once im done, about 25x12 maybe even bigger, not bad for the corner of my backyard 8)

The stock charger output is 300mah an hour. With the stock battery rated at 1500mah, it will take approximately 5 hours to charge to full.

I only get about 15 mins with the stock battery. I just bought a venom 3600, with a new charger that outputs 1.8a or 1800mah an hour, giving me a charge time of 2 hours and hopefully a runtime of 1+ hour.

I'm running a 45t with a 3000mAh and I get about an hour with a charge time of an hour with a peak charger

You defiantly should upgrade your battery to at least a nimh 3000Mah or more. And get rid of that junk stock charger and get a good peak charger. Even just a cheaper one. You can get the perona for like 50 bucks and its a great charger. very customizable to suit your needs.
