Buy a better battery, and hopefully better charger. Find your local hobby shop for direction, or go online to a site like EBay. I'd recommend my battery and charger, both Duratrax Onyx Series. Look for a 5000MaH battery - I've charged mine for 45mins and run for over an hour almost every time.

Let me know what kind of connector your current battery has either with a picture or description and where you would like to purchase it and I can give you item #'s or links to what you are looking for :)<br type="_moz"/>

Oops, accidental double post - the site stalled.... but an edit I meant to make anyways.. you could also switch to LiPo if you would like more power. another user could help you with that...

this is normal runtime of most RTR models.

A battery with higher capacity is the fix.

Did you get the volcano epx, or the volcano epx pro (brushless)?

If you got the brushless, then upgrade to a 2s 5000mah lipo battery. youll get 25 minutes of runtime, plus more power.
