Two identical trucks have different run times

[magman]

There may be a very small amount of binding somewhere...suspension, drive-train to cause the electronics to work harder. Or one of the motors just may be a little bit better than the other even though they are technically the same.

Are the esc settings identical as well?

There also could very possibly be a loose connection on the problem truck that is causing a slightly extra drain on the cells. It does not take much to cause this problem.

I forgot to mention that one...

If there was any binding wouldnt every thing get hot and esc. thermal?

No not if it is only a slight resistance issue. Your only talking about a 3 minute differance. If it were ten or 15 minutes then yes there would be other evidence to stand on. 3 minutes hardly seems like something to get all wound up about IMO.

it would depend on how much there was...A friend of mine has a 1/8 buggy like mine except mine rolls easier than his...hence, I get longer run times on the same set up.

One truck could have bearings from different lots making it roll easier for example.
