I have read many different threads and websites about run time with batteries. Can someone give me an idea what the average run time will be on a stock slash 4x4 brushless with the stock 3000mah battery? I am wondering if it is worth spending more money on higher mah per battery or just by more of the 3000mah. Is it worth spending more money on higher mah?

Run time on a 3000mah NIMH battery is about 15 minutes. You will actually get better run time using lipos.

That is what I thought. I am staying away from lipos for now because of my younger kids.

So, is it worth spending more money on higher mah batteries or just buy more batteries overall?

http://www.promatchracing.com/ has good NiMH batteries at a good price. For sure they are WAY better than the stock ones.

get the lipo for when the young ones are not around. lipo is a whole world better. you'll miss alot of fun with only nimads.

2 3000mah battery's stacked (one on top of the other using the stock mount and Velcro wrap,
will get you about 30 mins or more....

2 5000 lipos stacked i get full hot 1 hour runs with no heat up from the lipos at all...(with the lipo safety off )
both running the in kit stock option 18T pinion ...

so it's your choice..
it's a matter of a button held to change over once hooked up..

example you run the 2 lipos when they are just watching...lol
and then run the stacked NIMH 3000 when they are driving....
running either setup requires a parallel adapter.....

good luck...

best advice on nimhs is get a quality pack i had a IB 5000mah pack last 20-25mins in a 4x4 slash
