Default Runtime

What runtime should I expect with a 65t lathe and 1500mah batts? 3800?

I run 55t motors and often 3300mAh packs, and believe it or not but I easily get an hour of runtime. That's during regular crawling. How long it will go if I ran it non-stop? I don't know.

It's going to depend on a few factors. Mostly gonna be driver's style, but type of truck, kind and amount of servo(s) use, even weight of the truck.
My Clod with a 2500mah will last about 45min, and my TLT with a 1400mah will last about the same.(to give you an idea.)

If you drive like me it will be around 30-45 minutes with none stop throttle. Mostly people get an hour of run time.

I'm on and off the throttle like most crawling. But then again, I've never ran a motor so slow, so I may be going more open throttled in the future.

With el-cheap-o 3300's run thru an EVX with dual stock Mabuchi's, I can get about 45 mins to an hour of solid run time on a trail like run... Of course, with the obligatory log pile crawls as well as every root pile and rock I could find... I also run a Venom 1100MaH RX pack for the single 645MG I run up front... No RWS yet...

On a crawl day, I can go for 4-5 hours on just 2 packs... I rarely have to charge when we have a meet but it has happened on our last couple of outings... And even then, I usually come back with the pack I charged full and ready to go... I like to have a 2nd pack fully charged with me in case the one I got in dumps...

Well, I have an extremely weak 3800 and a 1500 since I'm into nitro now and am not concerned about batts really. May need to pick up a new one tho.
