When did the issue start happening ?

Do you mean it hits the LVC before the end of your 7 minute race ? Have you measured the voltage of the cells when this happens ?

You can send it back to us and we can test it and if something seems to be defective with one of the cells we will work something out with you. If both cells are down then this is something in the way the pack was used that created them to drop.

Put a note with the issue , your order ID number , email address and shipping address.

This started happening 2 weeks ago the last time i raced. Yes it hits lvc, i did check voltage it was at 7.6 the first time and 7.8 the second.

I will have to send it to u.

What would you recommend for a 2wd short course in way of battery? I have the 4300 shorty for my buggy and love it so I am gonna get one for racing my SC would a 4000 mah battery be good for heats as I have to shitty sticks that I plan of using for that?

Agreed. No way you are going to get anywhere near 20min non stop with a 5600 in an SCT410 with a pro4. I run many SMC packs in mine and with the 7200 I'm lucky to see 12 min. 7 minutes with the 5600 sounds about right.

i'm running on a really loose unprepped track to get practice... HPI Blitz ESE with the Castle SCT combo... running super cool (i can touch the can after a full run) so obviously i'm geared "slow"... i'm getting around 20 minutes/pack

i've also been told by the guys that watched my last practice that i'm fast enough to race... so low gearing be damned!

Any ETA on saddle packs?

I would get the 6500-70C this is the best deal for a high end pack. You can run one pack in your SC so run it for all the heats and final. I started racing again and have a 5600 for my 2wd buggy and a 5600 saddle pack for my 4wd. I run the same pack all day long.

When you hit the cutoff with your other pack what is the voltage at ?

Best thing to do is to send it to us and we can check the status of both cells and overall status of the pack.

Friday or Monday.

Shipment was delayed due to 2 missing boxes but I finally told them I can't wait any longer so ship the other 35 boxes and send us the 2 boxes when they find them with one of our other shipments.

They are due in Friday or Monday and we do have pre-orders to fill out and have been getting allot of orders recently so I would expect they would ship 1 or 2 days after they come in.

I noticed that they are very similar too.
