what is everyoen running for battery size

[discgolferlee]

looking at different routes for lipo for my honcho build. debating on a small 3s like 1300-1500mah pack for lightwight up top or debating on higher capacity 3s lipo like 2000-3000 maybe. just not sure what route I want to go. lookin for suggestions on what everyone is running.
any pics, links, feedback appreciated. thanks allot

oh and specs will be
holmes hobbies torquemaster esc and handwound 45t
unsure on my gearing yet.
stock wheels and flat irons with weight in wheels
axles packed full of grease(lucas oil red n tacky #2)
so it has some resistance to overcome being the axles are packed full
3racing winch
led light kit
and more goodies to come.

runtimes ????

I used to run a ax10 on 1500mah nimh couple years ago and it would last a while. just trying to figure out if say a 1300mah 3s would be enough to keep me goin for a while.
and thanks for replying... i seen allot of views but no response untill yours.

im running a 1300mah and a 3000mah in my honcho with an hpi rock crawling 55t motor.. the 1300mah came out of the roto-start for my nitro powered. i've noticed that i get a little longer run time with the 55t motor than the 27t.

really depends, usaly about 20 min when its 18* outside and full throttle in the snow but up to 35 when its 50*+ out and mild crawling and trail running

[EeePee]

I can get a bit over an hour with a 35 turn motor and a 2S 1300 mah lipo.

I can go til I'm sick and tired of it all with a 35 turn and 2S 3300 lipo.

2200Mah 3s Blue lipo on a 55t & Sidewinder - I'll get tired before it's drawn down far enough

[FoxintheDen]

I'm running a 5000 Blue lipo and it lasts me an entire day on the trails!

[sj4x4]

I run a 5200 mah 25c 2s lipo and it last's so long I couldn't tell you.

[BigSki]

I have a 2200 3s crammed into my Honcho, it works out really well and I get at least 1 hr. of run time.

[TrailDawg362]

5000 3S lipo/35T, great wheel speed and crazy long runtimes .

[WIDELOAD]

Im running 1500 3s turnigy's in my honcho.
Get anywhere from 40mins of heavy throttle shenanigans up to over an hour an a bit with real slow speedy technical crawling. Motor is a 1200kv brushless outrunner.

Run a 2200 3s in my other scx with same motor and i give up before ive ever run a battery down.

5000mah 3s on a 21t, awesome wheel speed, and great run times.

[RCTRUX]

I run a Venom 3000mah 7.2v 6 cell

[Raidvs]

i run turnigy 2s 3000mah.. seems to be a good balance between runtime and weight.. i usually get about 1.5-2 hrs from each pack with rooster 45T

[NorCalScaleCrawlers]

3s 1500 lipo 35c burst rate, mamba max esc, 60 turn motor.......... i usually get bored first

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

Eflite 2100 3 cell w/an HH Revolver and a Sidewinder. Seems pretty damn good so far

[flascx10]

6000mah 2s lipo, gets about 6 hours of crawling, and about 3 hours of bashing

[Scottmisfits]

I have a multitude of batteries ranging from 1050-1350mAh. I have to keep them that small because I enclose them in a Lok'n'Lok box with my receiver and ESC. I have 4 that I take with me. Typically some good long days.....
