MM: What runtimes are you getting on your 5s2p pack in the revo? What motor? Is 15 min asking too much?

I'm not looking to win any championships, just show up, have a good time and not suck. the next race aT the track is in 3 wks, so i'mhoping I can go there and just practice some to get the feel of it and see how it runs. I've been tryig to "race practice" as much as I can at times bashing, such as taking corners, controlled braking, and practicing what good jumps I can find.
I looks like the truck is a bit nose heavy, so trying to train my finger not to panic brake mid-air when the nose starts falling is a much needed event. Had some really ugly landings the other day. Finger thinks that the brakes can stop the truck in the air when things start to go bad... yeah, not so good. Lighter batts would even the weight out, but see points 1-2.

I've had the truck geared lower, but the motor just gets hotter while esc goes down. Since the feigao is going to be hot anyway, I'm hoping the TQ & power will be more than enough anyway vs little .18 motors. Besides, I don't want to start off too good or they may kick me out.:005: Better to take em by surprise later.

Talking to the track manager, as soon as I said I wanted to run elec, he seemed pretty much up for whatever as I was just going to get killed anyway.
