1/8th e-buggy run time/mah

[pwrpony]

Question.. 
1. Dose anyone know if roar doesn't allow running shorty pack in a e-buggy? My buggy takes 2 7.4v batteries so I can easily run 2 shorty's?
2. It's been about 3 years since I have ran e-buggy and back then it was hard on batteries and took a lot of MAH per minute... I friend said I should run my 4500mah shorty's and I said now way would they work, I said they would get hot as well as not have enough run time.. Well I was wrong, I ran 8 minutes and only used 2400mah and the batts where barely warm..I running a 2000kv motor
So how many mah are you guys using for like say 6 or 8 minute runs?

I have been looking at the ROAR rules but it does not say anything that you cant run shorty batteries.
According the the rule book:
8.7.11.6 Battery Cells: 14.8v lithium battery maximum
 11.1v 3s Lipo
 14.8v 4s Lipo
 If two 2s 7.4v Li-Poly packs are used, they must be the same brand and part #

I run on a track that is mostly high speed, I use a Tekin 1900kv motor on a 1/8 buggy and use 4200mah bateries for a 6 and 8 minute heat. Now for the main usually 10 minutes I use a 4s 6950 mah battery.

Do u know after your 8 minute run who much mah you used? Like I said I did 8 minutes and only used 2400mah.. That just seems way to low

I do not now the mah used on the batteries,but when I put the battery on the charger both cells are usually at 3.6-3.7v.
