| Car and driving | Average draw | Runtime |
|---|---|---|
| 1/10 crawler, trail pace | 5 A | 77 min |
| 1/10 2WD brushed truck | 12 A | 32 min |

The draws are typical averages over a run, not peaks. Launches and wheelies pull several times more for a moment. Runtime = 8 Ah x 0.8 usable / average amps x 60. Try your own figures in the LiPo runtime calculator.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a 8000mAh battery last in an RC car?
At 2S it depends almost entirely on average current draw. 1/10 crawler, trail pace: about 77 minutes; 1/10 2WD brushed truck: about 32 minutes; 1/10 2WD brushless, mixed driving: about 19 minutes; 1/10 4x4 brushless bashing: about 15 minutes. These use 80 percent of the rated capacity, which is the safe depth of discharge for LiPo packs. Bigger tires, taller gearing and grass all raise the draw and shorten runtime.
What C rating do I need for a 8000mAh 2S pack?
Maximum continuous current is capacity in amp hours times C. At 8000mAh a 50C pack is rated for about 400 A and a 100C pack for 800 A. Real draw in most cars is far lower, so a quality 50C pack is plenty for 1/10 bashing; the higher rating mostly means less voltage sag and a cooler pack.
