Just wondering really how long a 4000mAh battery would last.
I remember an old 3000mAh battery pack (NiMH) would last 5 mins no problem.
Do you think the pack would last 15 mins? Do you guys run any sort of regulator on the Li-Po packs?

Yeah, kinda thought you are joking about that 30 minutes main...but if there are such LIPO can do that...I think I can quit NITRO for good.
Anyhow, I used CORE 5000...Speed Passion speedo with Novak 13.5 on Schumacher Mi3...ran back to back two 5 minutes qualifier (forgot to charge the other lipo-4800 so I have to take my chance) and I am sure in between those run I have like 2 or so minutes of practice...completed both round without any power drop. I did not charge the pack after to check the mah left but I've charged the pack immediately for the 3rd round and the main.
Anyhow, 12 minutes is a garantee for brushless 13.5 with juice left. Probably 10 minutes for 10.5 and 7 or so for 3.5 4.5 motors...
I don't use any cutoff thing or regulator.....is there a voltage regulator for EP use..? I thought regulator is the voltage reduce devise designed for receiver packs GP cars use.
