5.5 in Dex 410 & Battery consumption

[dibble34]

How much do you guys have to charge between races? If i do a lap or 2 practice and a 5 min run it is normally 3000 - 3200 mah which seems like a lot! It's a SP motor and esc is not maxed out. Just be interested to know if this is normal or not.

I've got a SP5.5 in mine, we race on the side of a dry ski slope, so it's pretty steep, but I only use about 2,000-2,400 depending on layout.

Southport I just put 1700mah back in. Ludlow's grass takes out 2400mah

Hmmm, sounds a bit worrying then. Drivetrain etc is free and my 6.5 use to use about 2500

I take out about 2300 in 2wd so i wouldn't worry.

@dibble
It is a lot by any standard. I usually put back that much after a 10-12 minute run. How is the motor and esc temp after those 6-7 minute runs?

Animal I do drive pretty hard i guess, the other thing is it doesn't pick up quite as quickly as i would of expected. I could just be paranoid though!

At TORCH with a 5.5 in my SX2 I take out around 2300 - 2400mah.
