I need to take the plunge to lipo

It's hard to say the way I bash. when My wife and I go for a walk through the woods I get about 1.5 - 2.0 miles of walking in on the first pack or about 45 minutes it's rough terrain.

When I run in the back yard it is 10-15 minutes. Many others will tell you to run
6s2p packs. Then you will nearly double your run time and you will actually have better power. The voltage will hold better under hard load. However I found that the 6s1p pack puts out enough power to break Diff's, Clutches, and drive shafts. Now I have upgraded all of them and hopefully it will be realiable. I figure if it has enough power to break all of those items it has enough power :)

I don't mind a batter swap every 10-15 minutes. My motor needs cool down time anyways. When I get a higher quality motor. (should be here today) I will see if it can handle longer run time in summer heat. If so I may try a 2P pack. I just don't like the idea of adding that much weight to the truck.
