Time for new batterys

[ridinbikes247]

what about like a single 3s or 4s...i already run a receiver pack with the BEC wire cut....would 1 single 3s or 4 s lipo battery get me in the 20 minute range ? plus the same power i have now with the 14.4 volts ?...because i belive a 3s lipo is only like 11.1 and i figured that would be slower than the 14.4 im running now?

read my post. i linked you to a 4s single. do not run a 3s. you will get about 10-12 mins runtime with the 3800's no matter what configuration you use. if your desperate, go for the 5800's and spend 2x the money. 12 cells ni-mh is 14.4 volts, and 4s li-mn is 14.8, or 16.8 when fully charged. 3s would be about the same speed because of the massive decrease in weight.

y 6 cell ni-mh 3000mah venom pack weighs in at 344g. yours will be slightly heavier because of the extra 300mah, but not by much. my 12 ni-mh cells weigh in at 688 grams. yours, probably around 700-725. the 3s 3800 li-mn weighs in at 350g, saving you ~375g. fully charged, that pack will produce 12.6volts. the 4s li-mn 3800 weighs in at 467g, saving you ~258g.
