Yep, a 3s 5000mah battery and a 6s 2500mah battey should produce the same runtime, if the correct kv motors are employed to produce the same motor speed and the gearing is the same. I have noticed that the hv setup seems to get slightly longer runtimes than expected. I think that boils down to the hv setup being more effecient.
Dude, thanks - that's exactly what I was trying to say. And yeah, I think you're right about the efficiency. Since you're drawing less amps - the heat load is lower and I think it just runs better. At least that's what I'm betting on since I've got a 6s 3900 waiting to go into my XT8.
On the 1515 1/y, the 6s would be a tad on the hot side. 5s is warm, 4s is perfect.
i am aware, but thank you for the info. I plan on running on 4s and throwing in a 5s pack purely for vulgar displays of power.
I already have two 2s and a 3s for my Rusty. I can get 4s and 5s there with a series adapter. I will be buying separate batts for the revo though as I only have 1 battery tray.
FInally I was beging to wonder if I had to make a topic about peoples cars. Anyways Just got done with my TC5's Dodge stratus body.
