Hey guys,

I'll start by saying that I am running the battery through a traxxas slash 4x4. Track driving and pretty hard bashing on the golf course in my backyard. So, to be fair, my no means am Ibeing nice to the car :P

I have just recently bought a Dynamite 2s 7.4v 4200 mah 25c battery. Just to test out the brand and see how it performs compared to others. Ihave run many 2 and 3 cell venom brand batteries through the car with much better luck. Just curious what your thoughts were on maybe how Icould point the finger at the problem here, if anything else other than particular brand.

Ihave had the battery for around two months now. When the battery was close to brand new, it was lasting close to 35 minutes per run. The run time alone has been steadily lowering since, as of today, the run time of the battery was just over 15 minutes.

I guess my question is, what reasons can Iattribute to the drastic drop in run time of this particular battery. Like Isaid, I have had no similar affects running venom batteries through the exact same 'bashing'.

The only thing Ican personally say to perhbaps attribute to it, is the the weather here in Texas has changed quite a bit in the last two months and it is now entering summer going into higher heat and humidity. Can this alone be responsible for that large of a drop in run time?
