Never really checked the run time but it is over 15 miniutes. That being said run time is greatly affected by driving surface and driving style. I'm just a Backyard Basher so the truck is run on mostly grass and driveway. My driving style is ON/OFF don't need a radio just a switch:D .

Guile, I can shoot a movie might take a few days to get the time.

Chase023, It's not that I favor Lehners but the 2240s WORK! I've tried almost every motor type out there starting with the old Model Tech. The speed control used for tests above was a Schulze 12.97. But the warrior 9918/9920 work just fine.

I hope from the tests above that everyone can see you don't need fast turning motors to get speed. Some people on these boards still think you need to push a BL motor to its RPM limit to get speed. That is old thinking and just not the case. There is nothing worse than a hot running BL system. What good is 10 or 15 miniutes run time if the motor is smoking HOT in 5 miniutes. If anyone is on the fence as to which BL motor to get. Get the slower turning motor and use gearing to get the speed. You will be much better off.


Thank you,
