Electrical drive is a must when building "smaller" model, wish I have done that from beginning. How long time will battery last when running?

Thanks all .

Dan I cycled each side with no load without the sabertooth with a 11.1V lipo 2100MaH batts, I got 21-25 mins when batt got to 11.5V . I'll be running on a 18.5V 10900MaH lipo .

KP, yes spring behind grease ram a must . As for year, since I couldn't get the proper yellow, lets say the years of the Komatsu / Dresser merger . Right before they came out with the TD40C . Painted Komatsu yellow which Is the paint we got from the dealer to repaint my TD8E years ago . Cab interior should be tan, but the primer gray is close to komatsu's gray interior so I went with it .
