I am running a 8cell 1500mAh 9.6v 2/3a battery pack on my stick the pack last about 30 -40mins. I would go for a higher mAh pack. Higher the mAh longer battery life Regards james |

true, I have a 1500mah and a 4200mah, I get about an hour out of the 1500 and about an hour and a half from the 4200, real low gears in mine though, no speed what so ever, speed is what kills the most.

Any time I doubled my MAH rating I've doubled my run time. | |

different discharge rates one might give more punch and drains quicker |

I think the release of current does not play that much into it. I mean think about it. 1500mah=1 hour 4200mah=280% increase in capacity Yet you are claiming only a 50% increase in runtime? Crazy! You might want to check that 4200mah pack out. |

I run two 55T lathes, Rooster Crawler ESC, 6 4200 sub c's, 7 tooth pinions and I get 1.5 hr runtimes easily, there's a lot of variables with runtime and batteries though.
