Anyone have runtime data using smaller 3s lipo packs

[fish-hunter]

I'm needing some real world info on runtime using smaller 3s packs. 850 mah - 1500 mah packs in there scaler. What the weight of the truck is and if it's brushless or not. I searched already and couldn't find what I was looking for. Thanks

i run 1250 3s in my trail finder, 35t brushed and a CC Bec with a savox, slower trail running i get about 30-35 min out of it. faster trail runs in the 20 ish minute range.

I run 3-s 1350mah in a roughly 7 lb rig for about 40-45 minutes
SCX10 truggy

850 25ish
1300 35ish

Brushed 35 turn HH, 5.5-6LBS rigs

Mild trail running/practice, no winching, some wheel speed when needed, no high speed runs or bashing.

Been running 3s 500 mah in comp scale classes in two rigs at five pounds with 16t brushed motors getting about 20 min per pack.

I have some 1300 3s that I use as my oh shit batteries. They get about 30mins, 7lb scx 35t hh brxl

I get roughly 8 to 10 minutes out of a 360mah 3s pack in a 7lb rig running a 4000kv motor.

Don't be afraid to try 800 to 2200mah.

I've got data on 2200 mah packs. I have a bit of a size restriction and need to see what the smaller packs are getting for runtimes. Thanks everyone for the info.

I'm using 2200mah 3s in a 12lbs. wraith, brushless 18.5 ballistic with goat 3s esc. Crawler/ comp rig only, and im getting 1hr 10-15min on each battery. My set up included over and under drive axle gears with a 32p 56/10 spur and pinion. Works for me....

I wonder if anybody using 2x 2200Mah 3s in parallel to make 4400Mah
Would it make for real long run time...

I think night customs has a couple of frame panels that allows scx10s to run that set up. I'm thinking of adapting them to my ascender.

That is a good question, yes! I haven't done it in a wraith due to the lack of room up front, but I have on my scx10's. I have used 2 of the battery packs you described above mounted on each side of the rock sliders, and since I use Traxxas high current connectors on everything I own for many years now, I just use the TRX #3064 Y harness parallel connector and call it good.

I'm now doing what this guy is doing, except I'm using dual shortys. I don't need that type of run timd, I was just trying to balance out the weight, and it was either dual shorties, dual 3s 5000mAh.

Ohhhhh kay. So back on topic of small batteries and not how to get 10,000 mah into a rig.

Fyi, quite a few have doubled up the batteries to either make higher mah or stacked 2 2s to get 4s.

 

[Bmxreeves]

I know this od topic but whatever. i run 4000mah batterry with a 55t and get 2 hours of runtime. honestly the difference between the wheight of a 4000mah and 1500mah is not much and you get almost double the run time as the smaller batteries. soooo i would just run 4000mah and get great run times out of it

 

[tremorclod]

I run 850mah 3s in my 6lb c2 using 17.5t brushless and cc bec I get roughly 35 min
