Run time is dependant on your batteries, impossible to tell without knowing that.

If you've got bump steer, then your suspension is probably setup wrong.
A properly set-up Mini will only have 3-4 mm of travel max, and the amount of bump steer over that distance is minimal..

How good is Minis, i have had it for a while and just raced at the 07 Sydney Masters. One good battery pack for the whole day, charged a few times but, dusted down between races and nothing else, also raced T2 in 27T stock and luckily the Mini did not need work as i was too busy with the T2charging new cells for every race, cleaning and truing the motor, setting the suspension etc etc etc, the Mini, nil, zero, zilch, and had a LOT more fun and got second to HI.
Tony, when is the next big Mini race, i have got the bug....or should that be a Fiat
