mini erevo runtime?

[billym9]

hey I'm looking at getting an erevo but I'm not too sure about electrics. with a half decent battery what kind of runtime will i get driving fairly aggressively?

Depending on the battery's capacity, you can expect anywhere from 10-25 minutes.

thanks for the quick reply. 15 minutes isnt too bad i guess. any battery recomendations?

Lots of people may not agree but I run two Traxxas series 1 batteries in series for speed or in parallel when I want longer run times in a smaller "play" area. I bought both adapters. I recommend getting both of the adapters. I get 25 solid minutes of heavy throttle when running them parallel. I get about 15 when their in series...It'll do standing backflips. It's a riot.

Update: Running the batteries in series with the stock pinion gear is not a good idea. The thermal shutdown activates pretty quick if you have a heavy throttle.
