Mine is 13gram heavier then my Speedzone 4200 and 23 grams heavier then my speed 4000. We will see how it's performance is compared to what I am used to.

I run the 3600mAh battery with T8i in a EB48.3 and make 10 min main, other guys at the track run maxamps 4000mAh and those SMC 4600's and work fine too

I won't lie... dissappointed with the shipping on these. I hope the battery performance makes up for that. Fedex 3day shipping... would have been quicker to ship it priority mail and gotten it faster imho. Shipped on the 17th, not supposed to arrive till the 22nd... ugh.

What the "real" definition of storing the batteries? I'm curious to know what voltage or even the capacity level to which to store my lipos.

Thanks for all replys

You should be getting it much faster than their estimate, mine showed up 3 days earlier than their estimate. Working on cycling my packs to get a look at the IR's. One cycle in and not looking too good so far, 6.15 per cell IR...
