Frog Run Time Anomaly?

Recommended Posts

All,

I started running my '84 Frog during lockdown, and have upgraded it with a 3300 NiMh battery, ESC and ball races throughout.

IIRC I was getting 20 mins run time back in the day from a 1200 mAH NiCd hump pack (others have said that was hugely rose tinted, and it was more like 5-10 mins). I'm absoultely sure it was longer than 5 minutes, but still...

I've timed the runs, and I'm getting about 14 minutes tops. Even if I was down at only 10 mins in '84, I should be at  27 minutes just on increased capacity alone, never mind having eliminated the resistors and nylon wheel/drive bushes.

The battery has now been charged and run about 5 times.

Any ideas?

Cheers.

Just replied on your other thread  , and you answered some of my questions here  . Are you running a stock motor ?

Something odd is going on as I run a 3300 pack on a rere Blackfoot and I get 45+ minutes.  Bad battery or charger perhaps?

Sounds like the battery, some cheaper Chinese batteries branded As say 3000 mah are in fact no where near that.

what battery do you have?
