Receiver pack run time?
 
I use a 1000mAh 6v receiver pack, and I was wondering what sort of run times to expect? Do you guys re-peak your batteries after every run? Or will this shorten the life of the pack?

I have had a run away due to dead receiver pack (and yes, I do have a fail safe), and I don't want it to happen again!

I use an 1100mah hump pack which powers two Hi-tec servo 645/625mg for about 6hrs and some times i re-peak them with no bad results YET

When I race, I peak my batterise after every1 1/2 hours, my 1100mah pack will take about 800-900mah at that time. This means that almost 2/3 of the pack is used in that time. The last thing I want to go wrong is a dead pack in the race.

You should try the mdp 1400 nimh packs that ofna offers. I have one in my buggy and my sut. The benefit? Just longer run time. If I'm not mistaken you can get them at www.nitrohouse.com find there number on the site and call them because I think they haven't posted them yet.

good and cheap ? not sure they go together... I have a 1100mah with a 359 up front and a gws throttle and i get about 4 to 5 hrs. my car tells me when it needs charging. it just dies and turns hard left.

Get the Duratrax Piranha Digital ACDC Charger. Best Bang For the Buck on a low budget charger.
