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.

[[[ First I would like to Say that all you guys are really nice to give your time and help on this and it is greatly appreciated.

? ? ?My SETUP. please tell me what you recommend from your experience and if you could tell me how to do the math.
Custom 4wd 1/5 car (9.lbs no battery), Losi 43/13 ring pinion with a losi 2.0 CD but locked with a 45s/16p, locked rear, 5" tall 1/5 scale FG street slicks and working on a way to swap wheels out for very mild dirt 3.3 tires (4.5-5") for hard pack rally driving, but mostly street stunt, bash drifting , CC Mamba Monster /2200
want 45-55mph and 20 minute minimum runtime ? ? ?

oh ok, I get it, it was about being a constant draw.

I'm not sure whether to go with a 2s and 3s in series or just Two 3s in series.
But I like the idea of split weight.

I was shopping for Batt, one site site listed it's C rating and the other site only listed is constant amperage of 75, at the time I did not know how to calculate to see if they were the same and also one battery was a EP and the other did not say and I was going to put them in parallel, by the time I got the answer the 2nd batt was also a EP he told me I should run a NP .So this battery shopping has been a Long confusing deal.

Here;s the lipo's I was looking at :
NeuEnergy 5S-1P 2500
NEU2500EP 5S1P V1 -->http://www.neumotors.com/Site/Battery_Info.html
But I have read and heard that its best to run in series
So it's either a 2s and 3s in series or Two 3s in series
