run times on tf2 with lipo

[scalemadness]

I have access to several 7.4v 1300mah 25c lipos my tf2 is equipped with castle sv3 bec savox wp servo and 45t integy with stock single speed tranny are these batteries worth my time if so what kind of runtime can I roughly expect?

You may get about an hour of runtime, of course all depending on how you drive.

If you really scale drive with it, maybe close to an hour and a half.


Best thing is to try it out. Charge one up, bring a stopwatch and time your runtimes.

Would it be ok or wise to run two of these batteries in parallel?

Shouldn't hurt anything. I've run parallel-wired batteries on many things.

It might be more beneficial/simpler to just get a higher mah battery than to mount 2 lower mah batteries.

You can run the parallel batteries and have 2 smaller batteries flanking the frame rails. Can actually help with CG and balance of a rig.

I will toss a 5000mah 2s in every once in a while and can usually trail till I am ready to pack it up on one pack.

Good point. I didn't even think about the smaller batteries. I've never had any.

I run two 2cell 5000s in parallel on my stomper. I get 4-5 hours depending on how hard i run it.
And i also run a 2cell 8000 on my TF2. I have yet to hit the low cut off with 2 -2 1/2 hour runs on that one.

Ditto here with a 5000 mah 2s 40c Lipo. We usually run 3-ish hours, and I rarely have to swap a pack on it. I would recommend that over 2 packs for simplicity.

I use to run 1 battery. But i did some changes and spot were battery use to be don't work anymore for me.
On top of that my truck is top heavy. So I ended up putting battery's on my sliders to lower the CG a bit and picked up
some extra run time.
