I have a hpi savage flux with a mamba monster 2 esc. 2200k mamba motor two 3c 5000mah 25c lipos in series does this seem normal. I only get about ten fifteen minutes of run time. Just as I'm getting into it car shuts off is that how these are.

My buddy has one of these and gets really long run times...I'll fill my nitro up 2-3 tanks before his even hits lipo cut off.

How old are the batteries that you're using? Are you balance charging them? 2 5000mah should give you a good bit of run time if you're running them in series.

If they are wired in series( battery A positive to battery B negative with the other ends to the ESC), it wont provide more run time. It will provide more voltage.

If you wire them in parallel, ( both positives and both negatives to the ESC) then you will get more run time.
