It depends on your setup, and how you drive it.
 
battery C rate will also matter. hope protek has a better battery that the saddle pack they made 9 years ago-total junk purchased 3 - 1 doa the other 2 dies shortly after a few cycles
 
I have a shorty GenAce Red line 6000 Ma 130c (5mm bullet) and after 5 minutes of hard race/qualifier, I am at 50-52%...

So, for normal driving, I would say 10-12 minutes?
This GenAce is my best shorty battery ever. Not only for camel bump punch but also for not overheating and no disformation after 1 year of abuse...

Pretty nice 1/10 Truggy... It's a class race by the way, but not very popular for the moment.

I had a similar experience with Gens_Ace shortys 10-12 years back. I bought 3 packs for my Durango DESC410R and 1 puffed within the first week, another one puffed about a month later, but the 3rd one worked well and lasted quite awhile.

Gens was spamming the forum with unsolicited advertisements at one point so Woodie made it to where anytime types Gens_Ace it adds "are spammers" to the whole thing to mess up there advertisements. I asked about the possibility of changing it back since it doesn't seem to happen anymore but he didnt seem inclined to change it back. 🤷‍♂️
