Default Run time

If there are any stick owners that run the 2/3 a 1500mah batt. packs like from the crawler store what kind of run times do you have and do you have plenty of power with the small cell.

I don't know how long they last but I ran one today on a stick that I just built I only ran it 30 min I was timming it, it wasn't run down. I was suprised that it lasted that long, what I don't like about them is they are 8 cell and it makes your crawler go to fast, when you try to crawl (go slow) you can't, with a 6 cell with my setup I can crawl slow.

I've never timed mine but this last weekend I ran mine super hard for 1 1/2 hour straight and I would say it used 1 3/4 batteries. used up one and still had some time in the second

I'd say around half an hour... It's gonna depend too on your driving style (as in, how much throttle you like to use) an even what kind and how many servo's you run...

I am not a real throttle happy person but i am running 2 servos and 2 esc's or should i say i will be.This is a new build using a pimp cane chassis so as for now i am just waiting on parts and the only part i have not ordered are the cells for the batt.
I was going to run 7 subc cells 3 under each knuckle and one on the axle brace on the front but i really do not like the idea of not being able to switch out packs since they will be on the knuckle.
So i was thinking about two of the 2/3a pacs one on the front axle and one on the rear but i was going to buil the pacs myself and only do 7 cela each pack or call cheapbatt. and let them build the pacs for me.
