I have been trying this car out with my mamba max, Thunder P 3s 2250 30c with a Feigao xl 2383 and it drives for 15 minutes until speed of 28mph starts dropping. that was with a Emaxx tranny locked in 2nd and 1/8 street slicks

Yup, Patrick is right, that's what I meant. If you are running for 15 minutes on 3s 2250mAh cells, this is what your setup is doing:

- Average amp draw is 9A.
- Your estimated burst amp draw is around 65A.
- Your average power is 100w
- Your estimated burst power is around 700w.

The figures make sense given the weight and gearing of your setup. If you geared up and/or made the setup heavier, your amp draw would increase and runtime would decrease.
