This stuff is awesome.I had downloaded the coverage of one of these.(24 hours compressed into one).

Its actually possible with electrics.Get 4 or 5(6000 mah)  5C charge capable lipos.Get an iCharger 306B and charge them at 5C(around 20 mins or so for a charge).Should make for some fun racing.But expensive racing as well. :D

PS:Possible with 1/10 scale packs.Not sure if its really feasible with 4s packs.They would need more power.Maybe an iCharger 1010B or 2 of them :D

Even with a tower cooler for PC's, I don't think you could keep motor and ESC temps down :D
Or, just use 6-7 Motor/ESC combos :D

Charging and discharging batteries repeatedly without allowing sufficient cooling between charge-recgarge cycle can kill the lipo.
Rather than endurance, a race to see how far you can go on a "single lipo charge of specific capacity" will be nice. Will help improve power management skills/equipment, develope weight reduction techniques etc etc. :) Sounds so nerdy :D
