I am only getting around 5 mins of run time! Does not seem right with that size? I am using a older Triton charger and when I recharge the battery it is only taking on 1000 or so mA when fully charged up! At first I thought it was due to me not setting up the ESC to NIMH fr the default setting of LIPO. Maybe a bad battery possibly?
Its possible that you got a bad battery. Venom batteries have a bad rep from what I hear. Tony at hobbytown told me the bigger Venom batteries are not very good.. How old is your charger?
