Typhon Typhon 3s, how to get longer runtime?

[DaSamurai_]

I Have a 20T pinion stock wheels full metal diffs and wtf fans, everything is great no overheating, BUT the 15-20min runtime, only thing i want to increase, thats also if i am light on the throttle keeping it 75%and below. i really find it annoying to switch out batteries during my walk though the park. My question is would a 4s setup with a slightly smaller pinion like 17T give me a longer run time? i would like to keep the 20T bc the speed is insane but it just dies so quick. any advise is appreciated!

Higher mah lipo will give longer run time

I use to run 6s 2200 5000 50c lipos gearing was 16/46 bashed for 30 maybe 40min with throttle control.

im already running 5200Mah lipos one 50c and one 80c

This 8000 mah will fit. Should give you lot of time.

15-20 minutes of runtime is actually not that bad. That's pretty average.

Higher mah battery. I'm using

Zeee 11.1V 3S Lipo Battery 7200mAh 80C​

You could run two lipos in parallel this will double the mah and runtime. You will need an adapter to do it. https://www.amazon.com/flite-Battery-Parallel-Harness-10Awg/dp/B005EVL4P0

or just buy one large mah lipo.

will i still only be technically on 3s?? this tandem does it only combine Mah with the same 11.1v draw?

Yes running batteries in parallel just doubles the capacity but keeps the same voltage. When you run them in in series they double the voltage but capacity stays the same.

Assuming the batteries will fit, the weight will change the driving characteristics of the vehicle.
