In 1/10 offroad racing some guys are getting 15+ minutes on the new 4000mah+ batteries in mod classes (brushed motors... multiple heats). That's pretty impressive, and pretty effecient for racing. But it's still pulling some amps, let's say 1500mah for 5 min track time. Back in the day we would be dumping with the 1200-1500s at the 4 min mark with 14T mods.

Anyway, 1500/5min= 18,000mah per hour.

There are more efficient setups and some guys have had better results... this is just an example of typical offroad racing, something to compare to.

Bashing is a different deal, and brushless can be more efficient, etc.... like the guys who run 20min mod truck races and use 8000 lipos. One of those guys said once he could run for at least 30 min...
