Give us a bit more info... What's it going in? (ie: Clod, TXT, TLT, Maxx, etc..) What motor(s) are you using? How many cells are in the pack?
The 1400mah Intellect cells are a nice cells to use.

That's close to what I'm running in my TLT. I've got a 6 cell pack of the same batts and it works just fine.

You should get near a half hour with that pack, depending on how you drive. I like the 55t lathe motors on 7 and 8 cells.

All is fine EXCEPT for that power robbing Tamiya plug. Time to upgrade. I bet 90% of the RCC board runs Deans plugs.

it has resistance. resistance restricts the flow of power from the battery. and in turn turns that power into heat. which will probably melt your plugs in the long run. and they have been known to catch fire too. same thing with bullet style motor connectors.
