I am running LiPo's matey! 40c 5000mah's, at the end of a 5 minute race with maybe a warm up lap and a cool down lap there is 20% left in the pack
Its not my packs as i've tried different brands with same results, its not the gearing either... Its the weight of the thing and the fact it is very quick,
Not interested in making it lighter, a mate has CNC milled 2mm off majority of chassis to make his lighter, but can't 'nudge' us about on the track anymore because he bounces off and can now
be more easily 'nudged' out of the way!
Have laid my pack down and moved electrics onto chassis to help improve centre of gravity/roll centre
It looks like the newer released 4wd trucks are a lot lighter (Losi, Associated, Durango and HoBao) will be interesting to get on a dirt track and see what is tops!
