Life span depends on how the pack is treated and cared for. 200 to 300 cyles is the norm if taken care of properly. There are a lot of things that can shorten a li-po's life and a lot that can extend it.

This is the pack I'm looking at getting. Any idea on what type of runtime I can expect in a touring car running a 13.5 Orion with a final drive of 4.99? To be honest I have no idea what to even expect because I never ran a lipo in anything other than a electric heli.

I know we run 6 minute races where I'm at now.

Thanks
Brian

You'll do a 6 minute race with no problems.

Warm is normal, anything over 120 F is not good get a IF thermometer I use a Duratrax one about 20 bucks. Helps alot. And yes Balance your pack before or during every charge.

Can't wait to get some of these packs. It will make racing for me alot less work and alot less equipment to drag with me to the track. The price of them seem to be excellent as well.

Look forward to are shopping placing the order in the next few days and getting in some new Max Amps!!!!!!!!

Hey Jason, I was wondering about how long they will last (2 cell 6000) I know you said it would make a 6 min main easy and 1 guy said he played with his for about 15 to 20 min. we're looking at running a 3 hour long enduro race and was just wondering about how long it might last before I would heve to change.
In a T2 w/ 13.5 brushless GTB onroad carpet.
I know you dont have an exact time I'm just looking for estimated time.
Thanks
Aaron

Sorry but I have no way of knowing the exact run times by just looking at a motor size and gearing. There are way to many variables to take into account.
