yep,I ran it pretty hard on the track for 20 min,when I came off the track,one batt had unplugged,not sure how long I was running on just the one batt.
but I checked voltage in both packs.
one pack(the unplugged one) was 3.9 volts each cell
the still plugged in pack was 3.5 volts each cell
Still had more runtime in it,surprised me because of the extra load on the system with the wet track and the added weight.
I think the chassis is flexing,pulling the connectors.That is the only explanation I can come up with.
The deans are still hard to unplug,it unplugged after landing off of a big double jump 2 of the 3 times.

stepping down the pinion gears helped alot more than I would have thought.batt temps come way down,motor dropped 30 degrees or so,speed control dropped about 20 degrees.Runtime went way up,after the 5 min qualifiers on 22/40 I used 1500-1600 mah each pack, that would have me running 12-15 min per charge,which is what I was getting.
I ran 20 min in high load situation with lots of battery left I think
