Jet how long did your new lipo RX packs last on the track? Did you have to swap packs between mains?

DOH, I can't remember if I took completed pics or not. Have to look at the camera and see. I was kinda getting in a hurry to finish it up and paint the body so I could race.
Yes plaid, I am a slut! LOL Have to say after running this that it really fits my driving style sooooo much better than the xray. Don't get me wrong, the Xray is a nice buggy but I just couldn't drive it and be fast with it.
SweetD, I ran the HT 1500mah LiPo in the MBX5T and ran some practice and all three qualifiers and the Nomadio Sensor still showed over 7.4 volts the pack is rated at. I decided to charge it for the A Main just because I didn't want to mess around though I am sure it would have gone the distance of the 5 minute warm up and 15 minutes of the main. On the buggy since I screwed up and bought one for the Xray the HT pack didn't fit so I just ran to Hobbyclowns and bought an 800mah Electrifly that fit rather nicely into the radio box. I ran quite a bit of practice, probably close to the whole 30 minute session, then warm-ups and the three qualifiers. It showed above 7 volts but I decided to charge it up as well. I'm going to go one day and just run some practice and see how much it gets. The HT site claims of 1 1/2 hours of run time. I'm running some monster servos on each one, the truggy has the HiTec Ti gear (333 in/oz for steering and 130 in/oz for throttle) and the buggy has the JR's with similar torque. The nomadio is great though, the transciever can take 18 volts and on both rides the servo's and pt were able to take the initial 8+ volts of the packs.
