But anyway, From my personal point of view I would say there are more factors involved to make the runtime with such a motor.
The biggest factor will be the drivingstyle. How efficient you can drive, like at the end of the straight letting the car roll rather than pushing it towards the corner at full throttle. I always keep in mind the "smooth is fast" method, but other things like gearing and track layout can also have a huge effect on your runtime. If you run on a wide open track where you drive a lot on full throttle you will save energy, instead off on a let's say technical indoor carpet track where have to drain a lot of energy out of the batteries because you have to accelerate more.
We'll probably discuse on this subject further tommorrow on the track.
Thraex, thanks for your response, any reaction on this is very welcome.
