There is no problem for a regular style Lipo when used in the proper car/truck. I know this is an onroad forum where most of you run sedans but cam you stop and think that our Lipo pack was designed and built to fit in offroad cars/ trucks.
When we do come out with a Lipo pack in a hard case then you guys can pass on your proffesional comments.
As far as pricing goes last time I checked Horizon Hobby was selling our Lipo pack 15 dollars cheaper than the Orion 4800/20C pack. When I look at Lipo pricing capacity and C rate increases the price.

You know actually there has been very little bashing of the actual product (except its lack of a hard-case which was address in the first couple pages of the thread). The only "bashing" seems to come from the lack of safety data/methodology being shared. For some reason SMC just ignores the requests for it.

Is it me or do the same 5 people keep posting on this thread?
A lot of what you are requesting is spelled out in detail in our two page instruction sheet that comes with every pack.

I just went to SMC's website and can't seem to find any information out about the packs. I now know how to treat your nimh cells as that information is readily available. Honestly there was no mention that I could find that you even have lipo packs unless I missed it. I guess I'm just at a loss as to why if this information is available on a piece of paper that it can't be available on the website/on request. Did someone lose the Word doc used to create that piece of paper included with the packs?

No, it doesn't. It sounds like a simple request from people who are genuinely interested in finding out more about YOUR products. It sounds like people who are concerned about more than just battery performance and discharge rates. It sounds like thinking individuals who want to know what they are buying BEFORE they buy it.
And yet, you continue to insult our collective intelligence by trying to turn this entire thread into some kind of "attack SMC/JACO" stance when it's wholly not.
The results of this thread for anyone who has read it's entirety is that SMC and JACO either won't or can't supply buyers with any information about the specifics of their LiPo packs. And, regardless of the reasons, insist of berating those who are only asking for details. It's NOT too much to request, and yet it continues to be a sticking point for SMC and it's spokesmen.
In that, I'm disappointed in a company I had more respect for. In the future, I will make more of an effort to support other companies and individuals that are more concerned with their buyer's needs, wants and concerns, and doesn't brush off difficult questions with martyr groans of "public bashing."
That's just me—I could be wrong.

One thing the LiPo faithful should be mindful of is the outright negativity toward Chinese sources. A lot of reputable companies source their LiPos from China (Apple's iPhone, for example), and that's a device where the thing can't even be replaced. Linger has stated in the past that he's visited Chinese factories that are very close in quality to those found in Korea and Japan. Just something to keep in mind, because Danny's point about people being negative toward anything that isn't Enerland/Kokam/Saehan is pretty accurate.
