Looking for a Basher - Recommendation?

[NoControl]

Realize this is old, was looking for something else and this thread caught my eye, besides Tom has some un answered questions, the answers of which are...

Yes, go lipo 3s in parralel as long as ur still runing stock u should get 35mins of run time with hard running.

Your venom packs getting scorching hot because they are 3.8AH and if I'm not mistaken have a 15c rating at max, so when you acc hard or go threw tall grass and such it really pulls the amps out of the packs, I know for a fact that if you load in 2 3s 5k zippys in parralel and put a data logger that tracks current and voltage usage your stock electronics will pull 102A from time to time.

Also if you haven't done so yet go brushless its insane and if you ever get worried about 2650 instead of 2200, the 2650 will work fine, received the wrong motor when I ordered my combo but I'm still running the 2650 and I love temps average out so far on a 75 degree day at 135 after 3-5mins of run time with lots of grass acceleration and such.
