6s vs. 4s?

Also are you driving the same? The buggy might be more controllable now in 6s so you're on throttle sooner/harder than with 4s thus consuming more average current.

there are other factors to runtime to consider. But if truly nothing chnaged then that's odd. But look at all variables first.

All the settings have remained the same. I did swap though from a MMM to a RX8, but I set the RX8 the same with zero timing, low punch and current limiter on full to limit any amp spikes. The driving hasn't changed as my lap times are still the same.

Ok guys, ran again this weekend on a tight track with lots of accel and decel. Used 1680mah per 5 min heat. That was the same setup once again, RX8, 1380 KV NEU 1512 motor. Same gearing...

Did end up with the same results though....TQ and win. Only thing good about it...lol

Swapped to a 1515 2Y and RX8 and going to see how that works out. Its lower rpm so I had to gear according to get the same mph. I will let you guys know what I find.

Still used virtually identical MAH per 5min heat. I am wondering if the battery itself simply can not keep up with the task. I am going to try a better battery with 25C discharge and see what happens. The setup is still not good enough for 20 mins.
