How long should I be able to play?

[Coltan]

I just bought this brand new battery, I now have two my other one is a losi battery 1350mAh and I just got this new one.. it's in the mail. How long should I be able to play on both with my LCC, asking this question because I haven't played with it yet. Waiting for a new axle in the mail and by the way I mean around crawling speed not any high hill climbs or anything. (Both batteries are 3 cell)

Also here is the setup motor wise, my crawler has I think this will help with better estimates?

This is the new battery I bought

Sorry for simple questions, this is my first crawler. (Thanks for feedback)

I can't offer you a definitive time you'll get, but I run a CKRC punch 2s / 1350mah battery that gives me about 30-50 minutes runtime in a 5lb AX10. Mostly low-speed crawling, minimal ripping around. Hopefully that gives you a baseline...

Depends on your driving style, but the worm drives make the LCC need more power than an AX10.
Expect somewhere in the 10-20 min range drive time on a full battery pack. (I use up about 2,000mAh in 20 minutes, from a 4Ah NiMH battery.)

In my experience running a sportsman rig or even an MOA rig you really need 850mah-1000mah 3s or 4s max and just get 3-4 packs for one comp and one practice run. I used to run a 1300mah 3s pack on a 55T Integy lathe on my old AX10 and could comp at least 3 courses with that one pack.

The point is if you run a smaller mah pack not only is it lightweight it also has a smaller foot print to place where you want it easier. I would look at Gens Ace packs off hobbypartz.com or cheapbatterypacks.com at least 30C and you'll be set!

On scale rigs it's a different story I typically run dual 1300mah 2s packs in series for 4s and that lasts me almost an hour of hard bashing and crawling. That goes in a 10lb MIG welded KOH buggy. On my SCX10 with a 55T Integy I run a 1550mah 3s pack and that lasts me for around 35 min. The pack is about 3 years old too.

Bear in mind, if you go for a smaller pack, you are losing amperage @ the same C rating.

A x C = amperage

1300mah (1.3a) x 30c = 39A (usually with a 2x burst rating, so 78a burst)
850 mah (.85a) x 30c = 25.5A continuous (again usually 2x burst rating, so 51A burst)

Quite a difference in potential current. A hitec 7950 (for example) pulls 4.8A at stall torque, so that would leave you only 20A for your motor/ESC. I don't know how much a typical 55T or so motor actually pulls, so this may be a non issue, but it is the reason I run 1300mah packs - just a little more oomph in case ya need it. Sure, my tire rubs a little on the spring/battery, but I'm not going fast enough for this to be a concern.

im running a 55t on 2s 800-850mah lipo's that are 5-10yrs old and i get about 15-20 minutes each in my ax10. i have 6 of them and i can usually get 1-1.5 runs out of them each but they work for what i do with the crawler..

its hard to estimate a run time because i've never played with a 17.5t brushless motor.
