how long will the a battery last
I understand that there are many batteries that are better than others, I would like to know what are the average run time that you are experiencing with your battery. It would seem that the batteries would fade quickly after just a few minuets of use...please educate me with the electric buggies... thanks

RE: how long will the a battery last
It depends on how fast and heavy the vehicle is vs. the battery size. It is easy to double of triple the runtime in the same vehicle, but the average might be around 10 minutes.

RE: how long will the a battery last
The RC I own is a Rustler VXL.
I get 15 minutes out of my Venom 3000mah NIMH.
I just ran for the first time with a Venom Lipo 2S 5000mah for 20 minutes, then I stopped playing with it. So I don't know how long my Lipos are lasting yet, I assume maybe 40-45 minutes out of a full charge.

RE: how long will the a battery last
When my XXX-T still had a Novak 4300 SS system in it, I got about 25 minutes on an IB4200 6 cell stick pack. Then when I got some Elite 4500 mAh packs from www.cheapbatterypacks.com, I started getting 30 minute run times. I was going full throttle most of the time on an on road course. (I used to mess around on an on road course with my buddies and their touring cars... could never beat those little touring cars...)
