Heres a video of the current setup except I'm using xo-1 tires and wheels now.

Our 6500-70C has the lowest IR for a true 6500 on the market so yes it will hold up and should give you more power as there will be less voltage drop under load.

Just ordered 2! Wish me luck!

Hey Danny,
Would you suggest shortening the wires on my 3s packs if I don't need the length from factory?

You can always shorten them to save some resistance if your equipped to solder connectors. If you checked out my test on the SMC Facebook page you can see that for 6 inches of wires the resistance increases by 12%. In the end this is theory and data shown on testing equipment but really not sure how it will impact real world performance.

Good luck and keep us posted on your efforts to reach 100MPH.

Will do! Once I get over the fear and find the right location for the run.

Very pleased with my packs I bought several months ago, best bang for the buck. Love them in my race clodbusters, wouldn't run anything else now that ive tried these packs. Maybe next time ill get the race spec ones.

will you guys produce a 6s pack?

Danny/SMC 06-29-2013 03:50 PM

You mean a 6S pack in the 4S hardcase ? Only want to release packs that will sell well. We can always do custom packs.

Well 6s could be maybe more aimed at the heli people but there are always people on the track that run a 6s. I would grab some for my 5ive electric for 12s

I hit 86.1mph today with my current configuration, when I get the 3s 6500mah 70c packs I will remove the rear weight strips and see what kind of a difference the new batteries make. How exciting! My fastest run so far.
