Tower Hobbies has them listed already but no specs. Interesting that there are two packs. I am guessing they will be in different form factors.

The only questions that truly matter is who manufactures the cells, and what kind of case (if any) they're in?

SMC5000LT = Traxxas Connector
SMC5000LD = Deans Connector
ThunderPower seems to have a 5000mAh 22C cell. I believe they use Enerland.

No. These are manufactured specifically and exclusively for SMC by a company that specializes in custom LiPo battery packs. My advice would be to just run them and then decide what you think.
We chose to release them without a plastic case because we felt the quality of the packs was evident in their construction. However, we are considering adding a "shell" since the perception in the industry is that any pack that doesn't come in a plastic case is somehow inferior. (Either from a quality or safety standpoint).
We have done extensive testing of these packs and obviously feel they are worthy of wearing the SMC name.

In a buggy or other off road car it may not be an issue, however, I just don't see how it isn't inferior to use an unprotected LiPo in a touring car.
I'd be interested in your thoughts on this though.
