RE: batterys
it depends on the vehichle, motor, and gearing. A higher turn motor with lower gearing will give you way longer run time than a lower turn motor with higher gearing. Just an example In my Mini Quake I got about 12 min run time on a 1200mah battery with stock 16t pinion. all I changed was the pinion to a 13t, and now get over 20 min on a charge....
