Hey i just got the new slash 4x4 platinum with the lowered chassis.I charged up my max amps 3s 6000 mah lipo packs and went out to drive in the snow.After about 8 minutes the car came to a stop.The ESC was blinking red slowley.I felt the motor and it was pretty warm but not burning hot.I called traxxas and they said it was low voltage detection and that my batteries were dieing.I tried two of the same batteries fully charged and it did the same thing.Are the batteries dieing so fast because in going in like 2 1/2 inches of heavy snow mostly pinned full throttle the whole time?If anyone knows anything please let me know.

I have a hcg platinum and use a couple of 5000mah 25c 3s lipo batteries. The least running time I've had is around 15 minutes, running two fans as well. What is the c rating on yours?

That particular brand are highly overrated, overpriced, garbage. Get some quality, reasonably priced, under-rated batteries like SPC, SMC, Zippy, Gens Ace, etc.
Once you go LiCoO2 , you never go NiOOH.

Running in the snow causes a lot higher draw so your run time is not going to be anything like when there's no snow. I was running my 4x4 pede that I normally get a solid 25-30 minutes of run time with in the snow and got maybe 7 minutes of run time.
