pretty sure a 5000mah will do it, but its gonna depend on your gearing and motor choise.

12 min with a SC10? lol how heavy is it and what motor are you running?

with a 4000 mah I run for at least 20 minutes and with my 5200 I do easily 30 minutes

do you run beadlocks?

Any of the current 30 to 40c 5000mAH or better lipo's will give you some run time to spare... 4000's depending on your setup may cut it a little close. In a stock class limited to 13.5 or 17.5 the 4k is more than enough, but I'd still recommend going w/ the 5k lipo's with high C ratings as it will last you forever and keep a little better voltage curve, expecially near the end of the 12minutes.

Smc has a 5400 50c thats a nice pack and I think they have a 6000 30c pack that is cheeper. I would look into the SMC line to get a good pack.

We ran 12 minute mains yesterday (box stock SC10). I ran my Thunder Power 4300's and put back almost 2500mah's if that helps any.
