SMC LIPO BATTERY THREAD

Use the contact us feature on the web site. It will go directly to Danny and he will let you know about when the factory says they will be ready. Sometimes they come a little early, sometimes not so much, he is at the mercy of the chinese.

My average lap time also dropped as well to 16.7 from lower to mid 17 second laps I had been running.
Hope that helps

I asked Danny same question about the difference between the 70c and 100c. I was going to just buy the 100c but He recommended the 70c for mod and 100c for stock. I run mod and told him that so he actually undersold which I thought was nice because you would think any company would want you to spend as much $$$ as possible. So just shows what kind of company it is.

Kind of sad to order new batteries from SMC and they only offer 3 day FedEx for 8$ or faster shipping for more money, I am in Ohio they are in Virginia, and it takes 4 days or more and I can order stuff from Amain in Cali and pay 1.99$ and actually get it in 3 days

Not to mention: no one that I have found thus far even comes close to Danny's prices/quality/customer service.
Just my .02¢

Saddle Pack question: these 5600's still RIP, but one is always ~.10v lower than the other after a run. No method charging/balancing seems to get it to match the other. is .10v anything to worry about? Still rips.

Im going to be running with a 1900 kv in a tekno eb 48.3
15 min practice runs and 10 min heats/races. Should I preorder the Factory Spec 14.8V 5200mAh 70C and wait?
or do I need the 6500mah ones and I should just order now?

I'm sure SMC could offer $1.99 shipping if they increased their prices sufficiently.
TrevorsToyBox on eBay is an excellent example of what cheap/free shipping gets you. They used to have really awesome prices on the Proline tires they sold until they decided to make most everything have "Free Shipping". Now something that used to cost $5/pair and $9 shipping for the first pair (maybe $3 for an additional pair) is $15 for every pair.
