Oh, it can be done. 15 minutes would be pretty easy, actually. In racing, you could always sacrafice some top speed in exchange for runtime as well. Speed doesn't win races-it is usually the driver that wins. There is a user on this board that gets about 15 minutes of run time in an electric revo with gp2200 cells! Also, one pit stop in a 30 minute main would still allow you to be competitive.
