Sudden shorter run times

Sudden shorter run times
I have a 4x4 sct with rx8 esc and pro4 4300 on 2s lipo. In the past two weeks my run times have been reduced to what seems to. Be almost half. The only problems I found was an end bell screw missing which I fixed without resolution. I'm also running two different lipos with the same result. Any ideas what I should start with?

ohhh lol, your run times. I thought at first you were refering to your lap times being reduced by half and you wanted to know what the problem was lol

What kind of charger are you running?

Does the motor run hotter than it used to ?
ON your charger make sure you're paying attention to the mah going back into the battery after you run, how much are you putting in? How big is your pack?
Inspect the drivetrain of the car by removing the pinion, and spinning. Any roughness or tightness? Cycle the suspension make sure nothing is bent. These 4 pole motors can and will power through seized bearings. Note that on the 4wd SC trucks the rear pinion bearings are notorious for seizing up and you may not catch this until it blows out of the rear case.
Did you change the setup on the car? It is possible you've gotten better at drive or putting down the power and you're simply on the gas more now.
