You can charge them at 6C or even higher as they have low IR. That being said if you want a fully charged pack typically 2 to 3C is best.

Here you go we're going to work on the site in the coming week to try and have a better way to sort packs as we have more models to add in the coming weeks.

24.9 x 46.9 x 95.9 205grams This is what the sample pack was at and I need to have the current production packs weighed but should be very close to these specs.

Only one pack left of the 4670-2S2P short case. Due to them selling this fast I'm trying to see if the factory has more of these lower mAh packs.

We do have a 4300-50C coming out in 10 days and the regular 4600-70C with proper mAh and these should be in on the 16th.

In my opinion the 4600-70C should be best suited for stock style racing as it has lower IR and an extended voltage curve due to the higher mAh.

So are the packs on special actually 4200mah?

I borrowed a friends brand x shorty a couple weeks back and ran in in 2wd mod buggy and it had plenty of punch for that class. Maybe it's not good for TC mod or SC mod but buggies are pretty easy on batteries and it worked very nicely.

Yes they should be 4100-4200 with low IR.

In mod buggy the way I see it if you don't have enough power just drop a turn for motor.

In stock this isn't possible so this is where I think the 4600-70C with proper mAh will excel in.

For mod the 4300-50C that is coming out in 10 days or so will be fine.

I wouldn't run a short case in TC Mod or SC.

+1 on SMC batteries. I have 5 of them and they have all performed flawlessly. Always balance to within .001 @ 4.2v

No problems with splitting cases, or solder joints coming loose like some of the super "bargain" brands which usually last less then 4-5 months of racing.

SMC packs have never failed in any way. They are top quality and have super customer service should you ever need it.
