My Brushless 8ight Project

[DRIFT_BUGGY]

Well finally the rain went away and I managed to get down to my local track. Using the 13T pinion and changing from 3000 in front diff and changing 5000 in centre to 10 000 couldn't wait to see of the changes. At 10.32am I was going out of the pit lane and flying down the main straight. At 11.17am I was driving back into the pits as battery was starting to run slow. 45 MINUTES OF RUNTIME I never had to turn off the battery once, just kept going and going. Temps were Motor - 160F, ESC 111F & Battery 108F. I checked the voltage of the battery with the multimeter and it was 16.45V. I charged up this battery about 3 - 3 1/2 weeks ago. Back to work tomorrow, so not going to be able to use it for another 5 days.

TP 5S 5000 25C. I was probably flat out racing 60% of the time, 38% was doing sections over and over trying to get the right line and the other 2% was on my roof from landing wrong.

i have no idea how the hell you get runtimes like that , this is my setup
neu 1512 2.d/f
hyper st pro truggy
52/12 gearing
mamba max , 15v cutoff voltage
5s flight power 4900mah

everything is pretty close to the same as yours , yet i get about 9-12 mins runtime

i have a jammin cr pro buggy , i will try replacate your setup as close as possible , but i very very much doubt i will gain another 30 mins of runtime

HOW DO U DO IT ??

You should be getting minimum 20 mins with the battery you are using.
Somehthing isn't right.
What temps are you getting ?
Your driveline might be binding some were causing drag and robbing you of run time .

Check your diffs , cvd's Centre front and rear ( especially the pins ) and bearings
