How much weighs your truggy brushless ?

[RC-Monster Mike]

I finished the race - I just missed a minute or so in the middle. :) In race conditions on an average track, I would guess around 12-15 minutes runtime. A long track would likely get closer to 12 minutes and a shorter track may see 15-17minutes. Bashing would be more like 20-25 minutes for most people(racing is a pretty constant draw). I couldn't get 30 minutes with 8000 mah packs in my emaxx, so no chance with 5000mah in a similar vehicle and set up. For a 30 minute main, I would gear down to maximize runtime and do a battery swap. No way around it(not likely the Wanderer could hold up for this long anyways, but a Lehner or Neu will get into this beast soon enough). I was shocked to see that after around 9 minutes, the motor was still alive(probably 160-180 degrees - no temp gun, but it was too hot to hold for more than 1-2 seconds) - I figured it would be 200 or so after that run, but it handled it quite well(of course I used my heatsink, which helped a little). It was a pretty cool day as well. The mamba Maxx didn't even work up a sweat(Novak fan installed for insurance), which was equally impressive. The mamba Maxx with a Lehner 1940 or 1950 could likely take a 30 minute main with a battery swap without overheating. I am not particularly hard on stuff when I race - rather smooth on the throttle and brakes. In the hands of HotnCold, the system may have been reduced to smoke. :)
