I dont know how guys do it ... I spent most of the weekend trying to get my trucks ready (during the week is'nt possible between work'n and Father'n) and I'm still only half way done ...
got the Nitro Buggy and Elec Buggy done including practice bodies but I still have to resolve a minor mesh issue with the Truggy, completely rebuild the LST2 and then paint 6 bodies (luckily Chad at Fastlane Graphics is saving me some time there) ... all I could think about was everybody racing at Hardcore but I have to get all this done, with little spare time, to be ready to head to Alabama June 1st ... here are the two done with practice bodies















I'm hoping to get them all out next Sunday for some practice laps ... but I sure missed not being there this weekend

LOL ... ya decided to try using some Faskolor glitter in some Spazstix ... I am loving the EX-1 Kevin! Cant wait to get it on a real track (my backyard one is too small) but I think my current setup is gonna be perfect for speed/runtime/temps ...

Not sure what your running exactly, but make sure it will last 10 minutes under race conditions eh! That seems to be the typical race length. Hope to see ya' out to the races soon.

Castle 2200KV/MMM/15T with 4cell 30C 5000mah ... should get at least 30 minutes... I think???

[imported_BBFBCAP]

Not a chance in hell of getting 30 minutes out of that. You'd need a LOT more mAh's than 10,000 to get 30 minutes of run time. I'm guessing you'd get 12-13 minutes TOPS. I just ran two 5300mAh 30C 2 cell lipos in parallel for a total of 10600mAh, and came up short of the finish line after ten minutes, by about 50 feet!!! This included about 2 minutes of warm-up too. Only way you'll learn for sure is to get it on a track and time it I suppose. personally, I'm going to be upgrading my batts soon. Not lettign that happen again!!!

hmmm ... maybe I should'nt be listening to Brandon (XtremeRC) LOL ... I got those numbers from him ... guess we'll see soon enough ; )

I was talking to someone else running on the weekend who was running the Mamba 2200kv in his 8ight 2.0 and running a 4S 30C 5000mAh and he was saying he gets about 15 mins run time on the hardcore track due to the constant hard accelerations, through out the whole track.

I can live with that ... but should probably follow Kevin's lead on looking for more mah

Maybe going to a lower Motor? I know some guys who run the 1700KV motors with 5000 mAh 25C lipos and are getting 20+ mins out of them, as Kevin said the 2200kv in the buggy is really fast to the point where your almost always out of control.
