Average amp draw will be anywhere from 15-30amps, depending on terrain, driving style, vehicle weight, tires, drivetrain drag, etc. In my Revo I get about 15mins. from 4600mah, so that means that the average amp draw is 18.4amps (60mins/15mins x 4.6Ah). This setup can easily pull 120amps in spikes, though, so buying a battery based on the amp draw would be useless (average amp draw is less than 1/10th of what the maximum draw is).
