none of my SMCs have swollen and i'm at the track 3-4 times a week with multiple "quick" charges on each pack per trip... since may of this year?

and I've been running them on the 4wd SCT and the 2wd SCT... i dont cut them any slack.

It's only the 7200's with wires not bullets. I have 3-4 of the 6500 and they are still squared and not swollen. If I would have went bullets instead I would be fine but I like deans. This is also in 4wd Sc with a heavy Tekno. The heavier 4x4's on 2s put a serious strain on electronics.
I have 7-8 of the 4s 6500's and they all still look good too.

Bought a couple of 30c 5100s for practice... man... these things are exceeding my expectations for sure. Plenty of punch. 22 bucks each. Screw practice packs, these will go into rotatation for sure.


Need to order up some more.

And my 60c 6500s are just ever so swollen, but still perform great... But these 5100s, which so far only have one cycle on them, seem every bit as powerful.

Maybe I finally got a setup right... ha...

Picked up a 7200 2S and ran it for the first time this weekend...5 cycles and IR is 1 and 2 milliohms for each cell...Used about 4200mah in a 6 minute heat using RX8 Gen2 and 4300HD in a SCT410 geared with a 16t pinion on a small technical track with about 30 second lap times...Very impressed with performance and IR numbers...Great job SMC!!!Definately be checking out the 4S packs when I get my EBuggy done...

How are you liking your setup with the SCT410? I have the same truck and setup as you and my 2s 7200 lipos should be here this week.

The amount of interest in these packs has gone through the roof, people are realizing you don't need to pay top dollar for top packs, that coupled with the factory having a week off last month for holidays had pushed stock levels to a low, all packs will be replenished at the end of the month, don't be afraid to preorder the packs you want, it will only be a cpl of weeks.

Ps 4600 shorty 4s packs are ready and shipping now, preorders should be filled ASAP.

Cheers Justin

Demand is way up right now. If you want SMC saddles.... you have no choice but to preorder... or risk missing out. I talked with Danny and he is still waiting on the saddle pack ship date from the factory but it should be very soon. I have 2 pair of saddles on preorder and if they are anything like my SMC 4s packs..... it will be worth the wait.

I love smc and I've told a lot of people to order. But always being out of stock doesn't help with impatient people. U guys need to grow. Your batteries are amazing!
