No Runtime!!!

Should do fine- just doesnt like 5s lipo, but 5s A123 is a common setup (with external BEC).

Thanks, built a pack and ran the car on the 16 tooh pinion. My 13 was not hardened and is toast. The battery at the end of my five minute run was at about 13 volts and the hyperion did not like it. The charger would not charge the battery. Had to charge it as a four cell for about five minutes before the charger would let me charge it as a five cell. I have 13 tooth pinion on the way should be here on Monday.

Can you post pictures of your set up? I'd like to see how you fit all those cells.

I will post some later this week.

I have my 13 tooth pinion on the buggy and now I have the same problem as before. Three minutes of run time per pack four or five cells. I think my charger has a setting I can't find. When the 5s1p pack comes off the car is is aroung 9 volts. I have to charge it as a 3 then a 4 then a 5 cell pack on my hyperion charger 610i. This whole process takes less than five minutes until the charger stops. Does anyone know what setting I need to change to get the charger to charge my batts?????

Sorry no pics yet. The track I run at has gone to a 30-35 minute main and I have decided to go lipo of the runtime. Will post pics of the new setup as soon as I get the batt tray I ordered yesterday. If anyone is interested in my old batts just pm me.

That's really odd with the A123. When I was setting my truck for some speed runs, I actually ran it on 10S1P for over 10 minutes and I could've went longer, but it was too fast for the place I was testing it. Have you tried running a different motor?
