Default What's your runtime?

With the stock batteries in my 1:18, I get around 20-30 minutes of run time. You guys that have modded your battery packs, what kind of run times are you getting? I'd like to be able to wheel mine a little longer.

So, what are your run times, what kind of terrain do you drive on, and what kind of battery pack are you using?

If you are using a custom pack, please list battery type and mAh ratings as well.

Mine is stock, 650mAh, landscaping rock course .. 6-8" rocks, ~30 minutes.

I have had about an hour out of my Scorp with each charge. Mixed driving, some high, more crawling. I let my 3-year-old daughter play with it mostly and she is entertained for about an hour before she comes crying that it won't go anymore.

I get about an hour keeping it in low range crawling anything from tall rocks to roots with soft dirt. I am peak charging mine at 1 amp, a little tip for those peaking theres, if your charger has a cooling fan, put the pack an inch or two away from it, gives mine a fuller charge and I don't have a burning hot pack when it's done.
