Yes that battery would be an improvement but the 4600/70c is recommended for stock racing, if your on a budget, racing mod or just starting out the 4300/50c will do fine.

You'll need to order this to charge with.

And these to solder to your car and for your charger.

Direct from Danny:

Our next shipment is due in by the end of next week assuming there is no delays with shipping or customs.

This shipment will contain most models that are out of stock.

Supply will be much better in the coming weeks as we have many packs on order.

This shipment coming in late next week was ordered on January 22nd so as you can see we're pretty much at the mercy of the factory.

*snicker snicker*

They totally did me a solid and shipped 4 3s 4300mAh packs through usps in one box. I'm not gonna say nothing, lol.


By the way, wow with these 3s packs. They lit my face up with a beaming smile when the temp gun came out, and they were only warm in my savage.

I feel like I need to report back that all 11 batteries that I've bought recently are doing great. 4 2S 4600 shorties, 4 2S 6500s, and 3 of the new square packs all balance well, have great punch, and have not swollen despite me running them close to cut off sometimes while I practice. They are really a bargain at half the price, or less, of the big brands. I will continue to buy them.

I have always had great luck out of Smc lipos. I will stay with them along as I can race.

I have about 7 cycles through my square pack and the cells have come loose inside the case. It's annoying since I haven't had this pack long.

Have you contacted smc yet?

Danny is not allowed to post here anymore.....if you go to www.smc-racing.net and click the contact us link it will go directly to Danny.

Why can't Danny post anymore?

Violated terms of service for the site for advertising as a vendor vs an individual. I am sure there are politics on both sides of the issue and do not know more than this. If you need to hear from him I would suggest you contact him through the SMC web site or on his facebook page.

Before people bad mouth the mods this issue was between Danny and IB, the owners of the board.

you maybe need a better ballance charger
1.It is with more features:Charge, Discharge, Balance Charge, Form Charge, Storage Charge, Cycle Charge, Battery Monitor, as well as useful power supply for hot wire foam cutters, soldering irons and electric motor tune in.
2.It is NO.1 in safety:
Reverse polarity and short circuit cut off. Unique battery charger design with internal and external temperature cut off safety. Timer and capacity limit settings, as well as many more user set safety features.
3. It can display data on screen
Display Battery Voltage, Input Voltage, Current Draw, Capacity, as well as Per Cell Voltage and Resistance (in balance model). Make your decision based on exactly what is happening with the battery.
4.It contains PC connectivity
It is PC compatible for easy firmware upgrades, as well as integration with software for accurate analysis, comparison and trouble shooting of any battery.
And the following data is the main specification:
DC Input voltage range : 11~28V
Max charge power : 500w
Max discharge power : 40w
Max charge current : 20A
Max discharge current : 5A
Balance tolerance : +10mV
Max balance current : 300mA
Max lithium batteries "S" : 7
Max NiMH/NiCd "S" : 16
Max Pb "S" : 12
Firmware upgradable : Yes
Temp sensor : option

That is correct, there's a bit more to it then Danny posting too much about his packs, nothing more to discuss here. I don't think any mods had to do with any of it, they seem to do a great job though ;)

What are the dimensions for the Race Formula 7.4V 5600mAh 70C Saddle Pack? Thanks~!
