Thanks and glad you like this pack. Did you get the regular one or the higher IR one ? I've had feedback on the higher IR ones and it seems it has a bit more power than the 4300-50.

I need to get me a few of the newer packs. Still running the "certified" packs and have no issues with power or runtime.

I finally got my ebug up & running to do some cycles on the 6500mah 60c 4s test pack. I have now put 5 cycles on it @ 20a charge each time. So far I have only run it in practice so I have been running to lipo cut off, which I have set @ 3.2v. The IR is dead on 3mv every charge so far, & all cells balance to within .01v. I am getting in excess of 20 minutes of run time, but its broken up with setup changes having to corner myself. I expect I could run a 15 minute main with no problem. I believe I'm getting close on the setup, so I shouldn't have to stop as often for setup changes. This Saturday I'm going to be at the track all day so I hope to get some actual timed runs in for 5 & 10 & 15 minutes to see what I put back into it.

I just wish I had realized aaron2u was at the warehouse this past weekend, I would have compared notes. I was stuck running 1/10 2wd since the parts for my servo didn't get here till Monday.

We were running 6min mains last week and I bumped up, so probably 15mins of running with all the warm up laps and had 0 fade with the 5600mah 70c pack with a 8.5 in a 2wd buggy, unlike my previous other brand 3800mah 60c shorty getting soft 5mins in. I definitly can't complain and will look at SMC again for any future packs, which at this rate could be a while

We have some lower mAh 4600-70C shorty packs back in stock. The mAh is around 400 lower than the regular shorty and the IR is nice and low.

I've been running these for a while now in Mod buggy and love them. I'd buy more but the ones I have are just perfect still.

Race Formula 70C shorties are great high performing packs, couldnt be happier with the performance. Hoping i can perform as good as these packs do this weekend at the Novak Race in Omaha, Ne.

Unfortunately it will only be at the end of January when our next shipment of packs comes in. This is the peak of the busy season for packs and sales are very strong and the factory is swamped with orders so it takes a few more weeks than normal to get packs from them.
