Running a stock brushed slash in dirt oval, would I be able to tell a difference between a 5100mah 30c and a 5100mah 40c?

if one is an smc battery and the other isn't, i'd say the smc would probably outperform the other if it's the 40c and be equivalent if it's the 30c.

if their both smc, then it'll help, not a major diff..

just an opinion..

I'm running a different brand now but it is a smaller c rating. I understand you can't compare different brands but was wondering within similar brands. I currently run an SMC battery in my scte and can tell a difference between it and another brand with the same c rating. I have been happy with it.

Today, I ordered two more Race Formula 7.4/2S/7200/70C lower mAh batteries.
I am a costumer for life.

I run the 17.5 blinky class with a b4.2.. my SMC 60C 6500mah is a huge difference in punch, than my Thunder Power 65C 6000mah. The difference is like night and day. The SMC has more punch hands down. I am purchasing some 3s 40Cs this week for my E-LST2, I am wondering if they will out perform my 65c venoms or not.

Seriously all things aside everything with SMC is top notch from their batteries to their customer service. I won't buy another brand ever again.

Got to say Danny has great customer service!

Had an issue with a battery and shipped the battery back and had the issue looked into and got it back within a week. Thanks

I forgot to update that I got my sticker sheets within 3 days! Thank You! I think you guys should make some bigger smc stickers, makes them easier to read from further away, I'd like a bigger hood or roof sticker! Maybe include a sticker sheet with each purchase to get more free advertising! I wish smc had a 100mph club just to annoy another battery maker! Lol!

I got grp tires for the next run and a gt2 kyosho corvette body.

Our stickers are vinyl cut with a protective coating. We really can't include them with every pack as we really are working off low profit and vinyl stickers aren't cheap.

As far as 100MPH club we can consider doing something like this down eventually. Once again we are limited by our low profit. If we would sell average packs at a high price we could do allot more promotions but we prefer to offer our packs at the lowest possible price.

Once you reach 100+ MPH I will feature you on our site.

What foam compounds are you using from GRP ? Are you running regular sedan foam tires ? If you ever need help with foam tires let me know. I have access to many foam compounds.

Hey guys, I got my 6500mah 4S race packs about a month ago and was using them today and one case split open. It didnt puff and open it up, I believe the case just split open. Is there any kind of warranty that can help me out with this?

That would fall under a damaged pack and we offer 30% off the regular price of the pack not the sale price plus shipping. If the cells are fine I would just tape it back up or be careful and use a bit of ca at the seam of the two halves.

I just was spit balling some ideas at you. That would be awesome to be featured on the site! I picked up the grp belted revo's in the regular soft compound. I am curious about the foam versions. I think bruckners website says the grp foam tires are discontinued. Most people are running the revo's now for speed runs but I heard they let go around 140....

Really not familiar with the GRP tires. If you ever need help with regular foam tires let me know. I have access to many compounds if you can use regular TC wheels.

Ya, I can run regular 1/8 buggy/gt wheels. I'd be interested in trying some medium to firm foam. What kind of prices are you talking about? Got any pic's?

Tonight I'm trying to figure out my paint scheme fot the C6 body.
