hi gang, we got a 1/10 Ruckus 2WD lipo verison for Christmas. We are using the stock battery (1400 mah I think?) and an additional 4000mah battery. After running it in the lawn a couple times, we charged up the 4000mah battery and hit the baseball field. It was fun getting some extra speed and spinning around, but only got about 10-15 min of drive time. Does that seem short? I'm going to time it tomorrow.
Also, I assume that the stock ESC can sense the low voltage and will stop the truck from running before the battery gets too low?
Also, is there a way to safely charge the batteries for storage with the stock charger? I have read they should be charged about half way. Since we have a "dumb" charger, should I just guess at a couple hours on the charger and then take them off before they are fully charged?
