Default Emaxx with brushless RUNTIME

Hey guys, just ran my emaxx with novak HV 4.5 system in, runs great, using 2x 5000Mah 7.4V lipos in series, getting around a 10 min run time only, not hammering it only at 80% throttle like 20% of the time, can anyone say why and what run times i should be getting?

Thanks,
Dan.

i get 30+ min on my VXL Maxx with an 8 cell nimh..so to me sounds like something is wrong.

is your trans in a bind anywhere, or gears meshed too tight?

My maxx with 4.5 hv gets about 15 minutes minutes from some 4000 mah batts , and I run 100% throttle over half the time. It is bashing at race speeds most of the time. If I were to use 4S and 5000 mah I'd expect about 20+ minutes from my low geared light e-maxx.

Tried it again today and seems like the batteries are now "coming to life" got much longer run time around 23 mins so next run should be the best
thanks,
Dan.
