I can probably get close to 13 or 14 minutes of runtime in my TC3 with a Reedy 2* brushless motor and some semi new 3300's and even some pretty old 3300's. The other week me a couple other guys went to a new track, it was an oval track and they setup an onroad course to see if it would be something we would like to do on a normal bassis so we didn't actually race we just practiced and by the time my pack started to dump I was getting bored. I mean I have enough battery life to last easily a 10 minute main. Longer mains I would like but I don't think you should go longer in the qaulifiers. I mean no other (correct me if I'm wrong) runs quilifiers longer then 5 minutes just the mains are longer. I should be getting some 4200's pretty soon so runtime will really become a none issue. When I go to the track next time if I remember I will time it to see how much runtime I'm actually getting.

SWTour, I started racing offroad in the late 80's I think or it could have been early 90's, let just say a long time ago. Anyway the battery of choice was the red sanyo 1200 scr's with a few running the yellow sce's in mod but they were all 4 min races. My big whoops was really directed at all the advances in the hobby that have really got us nothing. Race lengths back then were based on the tech. at that time. I guess I'm just upset that the equipment has moved into the 21 century but we're still racing in the 20th.
