A 5000 mAh 2s lipo would run about 35-45 minutes, but you'd probably want to let the motor cool down during that session.

I run a 5000mah 2s lipo myself and get about what Jeb stated. LOL funny he mentioned the engine cooling because I do have to do that during the session.
I did at one point have an 8000mah 2s duratrax lipo. It did fit in the Ruckus, but it was REALLY tight and I had to use a velcro strap to secure the battery as it was so fat. However, after taking a 4 year hiatus from the hobby, and not properly storing the battery, it swelled on me and I had to ditch it.
However, that 8000mah battery gave about an hour or more of run time.

Thanks for the reply did get a 5409 2s battery . I did notice it getting hot after about 15 minutes run time so let it cool off
