The run times were about 40 mins to. It runs so long I only hit the lvc two or three times since I got it.
Maybe your battery had something to do with it because mine came with a 6 cell IB 3600 pack and it got way hot on the esc and motor with that battery. I think it actually thermaled with that battery if I remember correctly and that was actually with the smaller stock pinion.

Hey Jerry, did you happen to buy that rustler from a crazy guy at a body shop in Slidell? That was me, I am that crazy guy! Glad that you have had more luck than I did.
All I can think is that the velineon system is very power hungry, and does not like weak batteries. I was using a maxamps pack, 3s 4000, and we all know how well maxamps packs do with high power stuff (makes farty noise with mouth). It worked fine in my pede with the mm and the 12s feigao. And the performance was better with the mm/feigao combo. All I can think is that I may have found the sweat spot with that setup. I did not test the velineon that much, as I really did not care for it, and figured that it would sell better before I thrashed for testing purposes. I have a vxl pede now, but it has a sidewinder/aveox combo.
