I was hoping for a 20 min runtime on 6S. Not enough eletrics here to run our own class, so we get lumped in with the nitros and 20 min mains. Battery changes have proven to be troublesome.

I think the overall weight of the truggy is really hurting me the most. I'm not prepared to drop endless amounts of money on the truck though. Already spent too much. I may have to be content with having a truck that is really only going to be good for 15 minutes in most cases.
