3200mah lipo in 5 min race?

[vrooom]

Will 3200mah last long enough for 5 min at 110c discharge, on 150A esc with 7.5T on 2wd buggy?

many thanks.

I run a 7.5 in a b6 and after topping up my battery after a 5 min run I have been taking 1200/1400mah out off it so 3200 should be fine.

8.5 in my KF2, on grass = 1300 mAh - that's 5 minutes plus at least a minute of 'warm up'.
7.5 (same) = 1400 ish mAh.

13.5 blinky in a 4wd touring car on dry tarmac with sticky tyres and mental gearing = 1500 mAh.

We carry much more capacity than we actually need. Then again, staying in the upper SOC range does deliver better punch, albeit a tiny amount more.

Long gone are the days of constantly worrying whether our 1700 SCRs will make it to the end of the final, or feeling the punch quickly dropping off!

I've accidentally used a 4200 in 3 heats, so about 18 minutes of driving.



Well, 17 really. The last minute was when i finally twigged that i'd put the same battery back in, rather than the freshly charged one. So the car going slower wasn't a mechanical/overheating issue.



Just a stupidity one.

That'll be fine.

I take anywhere from 1200-1600mah out of my pack and that's including several minutes of installation laps. I've be running a 2900mah LCG lipo with no problem at all.

Would 3200 lipos be ok for 4wd with similar electrics ?

Also, would it make a difference at club level if I purchased lipos with 100c burst rate that were budget packs e.g £30-£40 rather than say named premium brands costing £70-£90 ??????
