I am curious on shipping, if I was to order two batteries first thing in the morning, would they possibly arrive either Friday or Saturday?

I ordered 2 yesterday (Tuesday) and the Fed ex tracking said they would be delivered by 8pm Friday.

If it is a matter of life and death, as many urgent things in RC are, I wouldn't count on those dates.

From my experience, FedEx has missed the most deliver dates out of the three - USPS, UPS, and FedEx. Second would be UPS. I have sworn I will never use UPS if I have other options. USPS has been the best.

But, just like anything, it probably depends on where you are.

This is true. I usually in all honesty have good luck with whoever I choose with shipping. I have seen some of the horror stories of others though. So I do count my blessings on that. Might get lucky and the batteries might show up on Saturday. Just find it odd, ordered stuff from Cali and it will be here on Saturday, and stuff from where SMC is won't be here till Monday. Pretty sure I am closer to where SMC is lol.

Anyone have feedback on the RF-160V2? Looks to run with a 6.5t in 4w buggy.

Raced my 4wd Caster Rapture 2.0 and I was not sure if I was going to finish this race as I just went to 2 5800mah 1s SMC 100c batts. Not only did I finished, I finished 1st and also I was really shock as when recharging the batteries I only used 3500mah????

Fedex managed to come through. Got to run my new batteries today. Awesome power out of them all day long.

FYI, if they miss a commit time, call FedEx, they owe you a refund and will refund your shipping.

Do the RF-120 1S & 2S ESC's have a "blinky" mode?

Speedo is a beast. Will run perfectly with that setup. BEC is strong and you won't need any external caps and such. Never gets a tad warm. Ran it in 4w Buggy with a 5.5. No issues whatsoever and if you do come across any, the SMC crew will be more than happy to help you out. Best speedo out there imo.

Yep. Both speedos have a blinky mode that meet ROAR specs. You can find all the info here
