Attention Eagletree owners: Assistance Needed - 09.05.2007, 09:40 PM

One of the most frequent (and unanswered) questions on this board is "how much runtime will I get with XXX batteries". I know there is a thread already that has some of this information, but I'd like to request a little more.

I plan to attempt to create a runtime calculator/lipo selector as part of the R/C Calculations site, but I need some data. I'd like the following information from those with an eagletree device (or any similar e-logger):

- Vehicle type; 2/4wd, ST/MT/etc.
- Approximate RTR vehicle weight in pounds
- Drive style (racing/bashing)
- Top speed in mph (approximate)
- Battery capacity in Ah
- Runtime in minutes
- Peak current draw (this is where the e-logger is needed).

Ideally, I'd like a few examples of each combo. Once I compile this information, I should be able to come up with an algorithm that will roughly calculate estimated peak current and runtime. These calculations will be approximate, but should at least set people in the right direction.

Along with the runtime calc, I thought a lipo selector would be handy for those wanting to know what capacity and C rating lipo they should get. This data should help with that as well.

I don't know if this will even be worth the effort, but I'd appreciate any input. Please copy and paste just the list items above with your values. I plan to make a script that will parse this thread and extract the data automatically, so a consistent format would be ideal.

Thanks in advance!
