You could easily spend twice as much to get a little bit more battery, but these look like a really good deal.

5 amp and 50C should make your buggy happy.

I believe the Race Formula has a slightly thicker casing for strength, can someone confirm that? Very happy with all my SMC's - all my race batteries are now SMC.

I see SMC and SPC recommendations everywhere, but I've never seen a great comparison thread between these two brands.

I have switched to SMC lipos in every single one of my cars because they have been so good. Go for the race formula batteries if you have the money. Well worth it!
