Race pace is normally harder on your batteries. Race pace is how you would drive your truck in the race. Basically, it means being as fast as possible, which basically means you are drawing more power, and will get less runtime.

Bashing is normally much easier on the batteries because you aren't giving full throttle every second you can. When bashing, you may hit a jump there, do a speed pass there, pop a few wheelies there. That isn't as current eating as full throttle, full brake, turn, full throttle, etc.

Charge time is about an hour and a half if you charge at 1C. However, you will get about 90% capacity charged in about an hour due to the CC/CV charing characteristics. The last 10% takes the most time because the charger reduces current in order to keep the voltage of the battery at a safe level.

PS. 1C means 1 x capacity. So 1C for a 8000mah pack is 8amps, while 1C for a 6000mah pack is 6amps, and 2C for a 6000mah pack is 12 amps.

So far, I do not know of a charger that will charge at over 10 amps, so the 12000mah packs will take quite a while to charge; probably about 2 and a half hours.
