Fully charged id get about 20-30 50 yard passes up my street. Car seemed to go faster with each run. Once the battery was done, id bring the car back inside, check everything out, re charge and back out she went.
No 3s yet. Cant find a small enough battery. Researching that now.
Thunder Power, TP1800-3SPF70, 1800mAh 3-Cell/3S 11.1V. It is the largest 3s lipo that will fit in the mini 8ight without modding the battery tray. 24mm tall, so the battery strap will not fit. No need for it since the battery touches the bottom of the top brace on the chassis. It isn't going any where. Down sides are that TP batteries use a non-standard balance connector that you have to get an adapter for. Dynamite sells an adapter. After I starting using this battery my spur gear stripped and pre mounted tires came unglued on speed runs.
