Do you stop running it at 12 minutes or does the low voltage cutoff kicks in at 12 minutes?

From what you are saying Mike's 2500 (weird it says 2600 on the site now and I am sure I always saw 2500!! ) can take the amp draw of a 1/8th system. Now I was wondering if I could pull off a 10 minute run on a smallish track using the 5S 2500(2600?) pack on a 1900kv engine in a rather light buggy like the mp9 or 808.

The 5S packs come in at 314g (380g for the 6S). This is close to the motor weight alone! Finned Neu 1512 is 290g and Tekin's T8 4030 is 341g. Using that 5S could make balancing the buggy even easier right?
