Probably a common query around here but I was just wondering if anyone could give me a rough estimate of how long my battery will last during a run

I have an 1800mAh 6 cell NiMh battery pack running a 20 turn brushed motor. I'd say moderate use... Not wide open throttle the whole time but not simple bursts of throttle if that makes any sense/difference. Any help?

10-15 mins generally
might be less depends on the weight of the RC, batteries condition (it might not even charge fully), motors condition etc.

I would say around 7-10. A higher capacity (say 4000, 5000mah) would get you 25 or so.

My Feedback: (1)

With a 2s 5400MaHlipo on the Slash 4x4 I used to have, Igot about 45-50 minutes of runtime. The 10000 MaH 2slipo I use in my Stampede 4x4 gets between 1.5 hours and 1.75 hours. Do NiMH batteries have less runtime? Ithought that the Mah capacity (assuming the battery is in good working order)was the only factorin runtime.Saw this thread and got curious.
