I had a race last weekend and was using my new Fullymax 3s 2600 mAh 35C (two in series) along my Kokam 3s 2500 mAh 30C. I'm able to get 15 min of runtime, but it depends on driving style. Top speed is slightly faster than the nitros. So far, I'm very happy with my Fullymax LiPos, even though they cost half as much as the Kokams.
The torque of this powertrain is unbelievable. We have a big jump (with very high friction surface) which the nitros need quite some throttle to clear. I would just roll up to the jump slowly, give some throttle and land 2 m after the landing ramp. I need to play with my Castle Link a lot more, though. Went to 0° timing and 50% punch control already.
Temps after a 20 min final (25°C air temp):
Motor: 75°C
ESC: 52°C
Batteries: 40°C
However, my buggy handles like crap (it's six years old!) and I need to mount the battery containers better. I'll probably get a used Xray 808 at the end of the season, or two (one nitro, one electric). But I'm very happy with the powertrain so far. Only change I am thinking about is somehow making room for "standard" length batteries.
