I get 40 minutes of runtime in my 1/10 4w buggy (5000mah). Most of the time I don't actually drive the car for the whole pack. I suppose if I had a whole day (8 hours) at the track I would be driving mabey two to four hours of that time.

If I had a lipo that would do 4 hours of drive time I would consider it sufficient. If 5000mah=40min then 30,000mah would net me 4 hours of drive time. Going with the 10 times capacity idea, the pack I would want would be 60% the size and weight of my current lipo. Roughly 240grams and 27mm x 83mm x 16mm at 30,000mah and cost $775.00 (at 6 times the cost of my current lipo).

I don't realy see the need for a more powerful motor setup though, as there is only so much the buggy can do on it's lid ;)


If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...

well considering the maxamps 2s 12000mah is 545 grams, this would be 5450 grams, which is 12.1 pounds. um. say hello to the 45lb e-maxx with 24hr runtime.

and only cost $2300 for a 2s battery.
Sounds like a Toyota Preis... LOL

Lets hope that it is not 1:1 on power to weight ratio increase.
