Never seen a 1/8 truggy with a fuel tank smaller than 150CC. The Monsoon with it's 125cc tank will probably run 6.23 minutes.

Run time is heavily dependent on how heavy/aggressive you are on the throttle. Smooth throttle always helpsmileage, but where the fun in that?So run times could easily vary+/- a minute orso. Good luck, have fun,.
