Yes 4mm bullets, any style will work but I would stay away from the "birdcage" style ones. SMC sells some nice ones but they are out of stock...

Right now I'm using saddle packs by Zippy and really hate messing with them lol they are taller so I had to mod my B5 battery lockdown to using Velcro
Not directly related to SMC but..How can any "race organizer" specify a C rating on batteries when everyone knows the numbers are complete BS anyway...just dumb!

We have a similar rule for a spec scb class. It's just there to keep the cost down really.

Anyone know of any other 4mm bullets that will work and that are in stock. Thte SMC ones are out of stock and some of the ones Ive looked at on Amain people leave feedback saying they won't fit SMC.

I believe I used the Castle Creations solid type bullet with my SMC batteries and they worked just fine.

What battery connectors do you suggest for 1:8 Buggy? I've seen so many options and opinions...

I am currently using bullets in my ebuggy. I have never used them, but I hear EC5 connectors are really good. They are like bullets but made into a connector. I have used Deans and Traxxas plugs and didnt care much for either connector.

Anybody know when the ESC's are going to be coming? The website still says pre-order.
Thanks!

Much better than Turnigy! My SMCs have all been great. The Turnigy 2s packs didn't last long. Started out well, then faded and puffed, then melted the plugs. Ditched them quickly.
