I bought the first lot of sanyo 3000h (waste of time & money) anyway looking yo buy GP3300 unmatched, whats the diff between GP3300 green/yellow & GP3300 red, is it fair to say most racers are using green/yellow, don't want to buy wrong ones again, have noticed not may racers using Sanyo 3300HV black cell why is this, are they a bad cell also, are Sanyo 3000HV any good, gearing up for stock next year, any info on this subject would be helpful, thanks luke.

its just the heat shrink. Cell is the same.

you cant go past SMC matched cells.

Except when SMC packs have a dead cell from new and SMC in the States just can't be bothered sending you a replacement cell despite promising several times

It is very unusual to have a dead cell from new - you obviously didn't buy them from here because the importer provides top notch service.

Who would be the importer of SMC ????

Scaled Adrenaline Hobbie or Motorsport... the guys name is Scott Hill

Scott Hill is the licenced Importer for SMC and provided the best servise. Contact him on (0414 469 606)

Thanks to you, painy.

is that for stock and mod or only stock?

stock

Does he have a shop around Sydney? I need to get monsters before the next EC round. Hoping to be in the A Finals by SummerNats.

No shop... but give him a call.

Im not really sure how good SMC is for MOD.

Have they got the runtime and voltage needed ?

Well being a perennial battery dumper, running a 8D and mashing it everywhere, i had around 300Mah left, so Yes i would say SMC have the goods for all classes.

Please shed some light on dead shorting this cells. Pros and Cons.

There is an SMC thread in the main forums, they go into detail there, DS the cells will reduce internal resistance, and increase voltage, but at the expense of runtime, so in essence good for stock but very bad for mod.
