also, i ran my caldera 10e last night for like 1/2 hour on 1 turnigy 2s 5200 30c and jus beat the crap outa it, it was a rough day at work... and this little truck is tough, it SHOULD have broke! well the body is destoyed , but the trucks still going, some how??? but these cheap-a$$ batteries rock, wow...


theres no better bang for the buck than a brushless redcat and cheap lipo's.

Hell yeah. I don't know why everyone has such short run times other than the chargers maybe? With the XBE and the stock batteries with the castle 2200 and the stock motor I get right around 30 minutes of run time. I can say this for sure, Lipos like to be charged at a high amp rate. That is from personal experience. I charge at 3c on all my batteries.

 

[Obeast44]

Alot of it has to do with driving style and conditions, not to mention many other factors


I know Ron, hes a fellow Leadfinger!

DUDE, after i ran the caldera hard for almost 30min my daughter and her friend ran it another 10min lightly in the grass and sand, it was still moving fast when i shut her down for the day, i had 3 other batteries setting there expecting to run 2-3 packs threw her, damn thing just wouldn't die or slow down, freaking awesome power and run times... things sure have changed from my grasshopper and 6cell nimh of 26 yr's ago , damn even when we raced rc10's it was for 4 min at a time... hahahaha

I noticed when i use my charger that i would get the options to charge at 1-5 Milli Amps then it switches over to 1C up to 3C. i was allways told to match up the MA to the mah on tha battery. I guess i should bump up to the C range? Is it faster charging also?

charging at 3c will reduce the life of your batteries for maximum battery life you suppose to charge at 1c or less
