estimated run time

[TexasSP]

Run time is so relative to the pull of your trigger finger that no one can give you a good estimate. Your best bet is to go practice and see where you are at. Of course lowering the start power and dialing in some punch control on the MMM will help increase runtime.

This is true but you need to consider the size and design of the track.
On a small tight track, this setup should get you well over 20 minutes as your avg speed won't likely break 18mph. On a larger track you'll probably only see 12 maybe 13 minutes as your avg speed should significantly increase. The power needed to reach faster speeds increases exponentially. This is because the mass of the vehicle actually increases as it accelerates but we don't need to get into that. At the end of the day, run times will significantly decrease on faster tracks.

How does the mass increase? That is pretty interesting. The kinetic energy obviously increases, thus requiring more motor breaking to slow it down, resulting in decreased run times, but I never heard of anything gaining Mass as it accelerates... unless of course you are running on a very muddy track!
