Default how much lipo in your scaler?

How much lipo do you run in your rig? Just 1 pack or primary and secondary packs? What's your setup and how much power? How much runtime?

I run 5000 3S packs in mine. With a 35T motor I get 2 1/2-3+ hours of run time. The 2 speed seems to extend that time even more since I'm usually tooling around in 1st gear.

Wraith with a 3400kv 4 pole on a 2200mah 3s lipo nets me up to an hour of walking through the woods slow crawling or as little as 20 minutes of bashing.

I use a reedy 3s 3200mah 20c Lipo on a castle sv2 with a modded Traxxas 12t motor. Works great! Motor gets a little warm, but it always has, sooooo ya. But I get probably about 45 minutes out of it in my scx10
