The difference is going to be negliable. You'll have a hard time measuring any difference in run time just because variations in how much throttle you use on each pack will have more of an impact than the servo + rx draw.

To give you a better estimation, my 1100mah 6v rx pack I used on nitro cars would last at least an hour with two servos drawing on it. If you have a multimeter, just hook it up inline on the red or black wire of the servo (or the esc to see the rx+servo draw combined) and you'll see what it'll draw exactly. It's not much and I doubt it would make a difference of more than a minute or two.

in my old, nitro savage, i used to get a full 4+ hours out of my 1600mah rx pack. the servo will draw maybe 100-200mah at the most. it is only a 1/10 and the servos don't draw much current.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
