Also, are your motors 12 or 24V? This will determine how you should decide on your batteries. Finally, the above equations are using amps, which is a measure of current flow, but your run time is determined by the amp-hour rating of a battery. These are two different concepts, so what you're asking by referencing the equations like that is incorrect, if I'm understanding you correctly. I'm not familiar with the current handling capability of the tri-pact speed controller so I can't answer that -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
