It might be for hooking the program box up to your computer for firmware upgrades

I am going to get a couple of the 100C race formula. I just got back into racing and they seem to be the best bang for the buck

What people need to understand that most lipos are similar if not the same because they really are only a handful of manufactures that make the batteries and a lot of companies just put their stickers on it. That's why I love SMC and would never waste my money on a Max Amps where it's $200+ for a 4s. It's all branding and marketing hype therefore usually a waste of money

So does Danny just work in backlog all the time since the batteries I want have not been in stock for 6 mos. Also interested in the charger just don't want to pay for something that I have no idea when they will be back in stock. I like his stuff I really do just the backlog is starting to get old.

I would pick up the phone and call SMC. Probably closed now since they're east coast though.

Pretty sure that BEGO Racing will be at the Quebec Classic race this weekend up here in Canada...meaning, he will be busy this weekend racing, and will probably not be so responsive to inquiries.

Just an FYI.
