How much run-time are you getting with an 8000 LIPO on a VXL?

Don't know how long it last but expect 45min+. I played with it some when I got it and WOW. I just recently went brushless to but I haven't had time to mess with using a full charge yet. I work 7 days a week so time is limited.

How come only every 6? If you have a balancing charger why not everytime? Some balance chargers may even charge faster with the balance port connected.

Maybe because like a lot of us he's lazy:lol: and with a quality lipo they stay balanced for a long time. I do it every time but I really don't need to.;)

There's nothingh special about every 6 charges, its just when he wants to do it.

I use a balancing charger and its just too easy to do it every time. Besides, my charger prefers it that way - I don't have to over ride charger's warnings that I'm not balancing.
