The 5000-40C would be an upgrade over your current 4000-40C. The 6500-60C for an extra 10 dollars is an upgrade over the 5000-40C. Anyone of these will give you more power than a 4000-30C and run cooler as the cells are bigger.

We're still feeling out the lower priced packs and may apply for ROAR on these packs in the future. For now we prefer selling them at a lower price and getting more of them out there and get feedback.

What about charge rates? Approx. on shipping time to Wisconsin?

You can charge up to 6C but very few chargers can do this and you won't get a full charge. I find 2C to 3C is what gives the best all around charge versus time.

Packs ordered now can ship on Monday. If you order 1 or 2 packs they can ship via USPS small flat rate priority which is typically 2-3 days.

Danny, is there a time frame before inboard 7.4 6500 or 7200mah will be off back order? Looking for 3 packs.

Danny/SMC 12-14-2012 04:51 PM

Yes we will get 7200s with proper IR around Christmas. We will offer the 7200 on special at the 6500 price.

Awesome thanks! Will keep an eye out.

I was able to get about 7-8 cycles through the 6500 60c 4s packs this past weekend... All I can say is wow, I'm hooked! Both packs balanced nicely. Even though I'm not taxing them as much as I could be, I have no doubt these will be great for outdoors in the summer!

6 Minutes heats, smaller track indoors, RX8 & 1400kv, 4s. Pulled between 1780mah-1900mah from the packs, with a couple-few minutes of warm up laps to boot. Pack and ESC were room temp, motor temp was around 100 degrees or so.

Thanks again!

Added another 7-8 cycles over club racing two weeks ago. No issues...

Add another 8-9 cycles from the Toys for Tots race this past weekend at The Warehouse in Helena Alabama... Ran Sportsman ebuggy, TQ'd and finished 2nd. Packs ran flawlessly, plenty of punch from start to finish! Same setup as above, but geared up! Nice to be back on the podium again! Thanks Danny!

Danny how does the IR of the 4600 shorty compare to the saddle packs?

Danny/SMC 12-19-2012 10:13 AM

In theory the saddle pack should have lower IR because it's a bigger pack but due to the connection of the saddle pack it doesn't have better IR. I don't have the exact data as I don't have a 4600 shorty here with me.

The ESR1 and ESR2 meters are now back in stock.

Waiting on the tracking number for our next shipment of packs which will have the proper IR 7200s , 5600-70C with Deans , more of the high IR 6500s and 7200s at discount prices.

RC*PHREAK 12-20-2012 08:35 AM

Any high IR saddle packs?

Danny/SMC 12-20-2012 08:38 AM

No we only have regular saddles.

Kickass service, prices, and packs. Ordered two of the 70c 4600 shorty's a few days ago, they were shipped super fast, and the performance is outstanding. Thank you Danny.

Can't wait for the 7200 low IR packs to come in! Want to give it a spin in my 7lb+ SCT running a 4 pole 550 :sneaky:

In no paticular order:
Great Performing packs, Great Customer Service, Great Knowledge, Great Prices, and I get my packs in a day (helps being only about 200 miles away :) ) Seems to me like the best deal around. Not to mention a few High Ir specials from time to time.

Planning on putting the 6500 4s test pack through the ringer again this weekend at SJRC.
