Asking what kind of runtimes you can expect is kind of a loaded question. It all depends on the terrain, your driving style, the vehicle, the tires, etc.
If you want the most runtime, just get the biggest battery that you can fit into your vehicle. The 5Ah packs are a good bang for the buck and a good trade off between weight and runtime.
If you can afford it, go with lipo. It's just plain better all the way around.

I agree, its a bit loaded, but i run 4.4k maxamp 6 celled packs for a while in my 5700 setup and got close to 20 minutes with them on track practicing. The only problem with NIMH and brushless is they get really hot, I mean like 160* in 90* temps. A friend who races oval cars told me it was ok, because they were under 70*over ambient ( 95* at time), but i never like to run anything over 130 if possible. At time the batteries were 160, so were the esc and motor
Work because i gotta, play because i wanna
People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise
