Hello
Just wanted to post an update on how the testing with the SMC 1C Lipo has been going.
At first I struggled with a lil more fall off towards the end of a run than I would have liked but have really figured some stuff out and have gotten the fall off down to what we see in 17.5/4-cell. So far what has worked the best for me is this setup, which equates to stock (17.5/4-cell) speeds.
Tekin RS with two capacitors
13.5 Motor Geared 45/76 with 1.72" tires
Hotwire setup timing at 100%, Sensored only mode
Currently running a Much More 200mah 7.4v lipo receiver pack
Also running the "red" wire from the speedo into the reciever
Speeds are really equel to stock. Punch, straightaway, everything. Driveability is great. Laptimes are identical to the car that just won 17.5/4 Cell at Vegas. Both cars hotlapped tonite at 10.1
If anyone has any quetsions feel free to ask I'll try to help as much as I can.

Edited: Forgot to add that I am running the car at 815g race ready. I believe the weight rule will have to be lowered a lil with li-po as there is just not enough space to add weight in these cars and its really unnecessary.

With the testing that I did on single cell the newer Spektrum stuff and the new KO stuff will run fine all the way until the pack completely dumps. No receiver pack required except for maybe mod. I did find that I need a voltage booster for the transponder (Novak makes one).
For me, LiPo receiver packs are a $20 solution for a $5 problem. NiMh receiver cells are only about $1 each...

EA, thanks for the info on the trinity based motors. I haven't had time to do a ton of testing, it just woke it up big time when I turned the timing up a notch. Someone running the 17.5 trinity in touring couldn't get it running without going up in timing either so I gave it a try and it seemed to work.

I don't know if your gonna want to not run a reciever pack with 1c lipo. From what I've seen while it does "run" the servo gets a lil lazy under WOT. Just easier to do the ol 5$ receiver pack trick.

Any word on a production/release date? I need to know when to expect it. We are hoping to use it for 1/10th scale oval racing.

I hope not. Seems to me everything I get that is made in China... either doesnt work or doesnt last very long. Just like the 4600's I used to have.
CHINA SUCKS ! We should all be carefull to NOT purchace products made there. That also seems to be an issue with the economy here.

Any news as to a release date yet? I am pretty sure it's been asked before, it would be nice to know where we're at.
As for the cells they'll be good if Danny is associated with it in any way, and he is.
