How exactly are people getting long run-times?

I was thinking swapping to 5s and taming your driving skills. Your unloaded RPM's are 37740. This is a touch out of that efficiency range of 28-35k rpms. Dropping to 5s will put you are 31450 rpms which should be optimal.

When calculating speed with Brian's awesome calculator, try adding 1" (At least) of tire ballooning. My 2 truggies are geared for 34-36mph and they both are going over 40mph.

Thanks, I normally add about 0.2" for tyre balooning considering they are only buggy tyres.

I'm going to drop to 4-5S, depending on how successful my quick-change battery conversion is.

Glad to see you got the files Mike.

You should add about .5" tire ballooning.
