It depends on how many maH the batteries have. How much do they have?

here is what i know... with a mamba 8000kv and 7 cell gp1100 i get a solid 25 minutes, BUT this can change depending how you drive... i did my time test going back and forth infront of the house on the street.

the higher MAH the longer runtime on batteries IF THERE good batteries.

also depends how they were charged if there slow charged lesser amps u will most likely get longer runtimes as well. its all trial and error stuff goodluck

thank you very much! then i think i get a bit longer runtime with the elite 1500mah... i know it depends how you drive and stuff, but if you compare two batteries, then you dont compare those in different driving methods... i just wanted to know if its much more runtime with a 8cell.... but thanks anyway!

8 cell wont necessarily give u longer runtime.. also quality batteries plays factor with the MAH i know that u get a generic cell with 1500 it wont compare to say like Intellects etc...

The elite cells are great cells. But it seems like they like to blow up or vent a lot, form what I have heard atleast.
