Default battery upgrade and castle BEC question

http://holmeshobbies.com/product.php...&cat=10&page=1

i'm now running a 7.2 3600 stick pack ...and was wondering if the link above would be a better choice for a super clod axled with 55t s,mamba max, dual servos(airtronic 94358 and hitec 645)?also how would run times compare??
....also...i'm running a rec. pack for my servo's....would the castle bec from holmes benefit me any ??this is all new to me so thank you for the help

I dont know if it would have the MaH nads to keep you running too long. With all that your running and based on how heavy your rig and finger is youd get 5-6 minutes, MAX. I just bought one for my Brushless light wieght WK running a MM and one servo.

I just can't reply safely with words like better and longer in the same sentence.

Elite 1500s on a two motor Clod will do about 25 to 30 minutes of solid runtime.

I use a 1320 mah LiPo and I like it the best. It's smaller, and weighs less.

That would be my guess too, depending on the motors, gearing, and driving. I could knock it down to 13-15 minutes on some rocks out here with tall gearing


With my 2100 packs I get about 45 minutes with dual 3014 outrunners in the clod. If I am in a hurry and burn the tires a lot I get about 25-30 minutes. 6t pinions, 3 cell lipo, moab XL tires, plenty of wheelspeed.
