Long enough!
Honestly, I have seen a few times at the track I race where they have made one class run their second 5 minute qualifier and then run a 20 minute main 5 minutes later.
I wanted to make sure that I could get 25 minutes of racing without being out of battery.
Hopefully, in an ideal world, I will find that these batteries do last way to long, and I can get a pair of decent 5000mah or 6000mah to save on weight, but since the cells were cheap, I figured I would go overboard first and then, if I can, go smaller, instead of going to small first and not being able to run.

Went to the track yesterday...
Not so successful.
I had a few motor mount screws come lose which allowed my spur gear to strip (plastic spur).
Fixed that and then cracked the ball cup on one of the front CVDs. I bought the CVDs off of ebay from China, so it is likely they were poor quality, I ordered a new set of fronts (stock kyosho this time).
assuming the parts get mailed today, I should get them be Wednesday, and I will take it out to the track Thursday.
In terms of performance (for the 5-10 laps the buggy lasted) it seemed on par with the Nitros, I was trying to be cautious as to not break anything. I let a nitro guy try it out (I wanted his opinion as to performance) and he was in no mood to be cautious (both broken parts were from him).
Hopefully Thursday it will be more reliable and I cam come back with useful data (motor temps actual competitiveness vs nitros) ect.
