Ordered the 70C 7200 mah w/deans and the 70c 5600 mah saddle packs today. Looks like my Tekno SCT410 and B44.2 will be pimped!

Just wanted to say I'm really impressed with the 5000mah 40C pack I bought last week. I don't think there is a better pack for the money.

Phew! I'd been checking the site regularly over the last few days, but forgot to look at it this morning. Fortunately, I caught this thread update and just submitted my order for 2 of the 7200 mah 70C Deans batteries. Can't wait to get 'em and see what they do in my SCTE, SC10 4x4 and TLR22 buggy. Fingers crossed that this winds up being a good purchase!

I ordered 2 packs of 7200mah 70c inboard packs for my 17.5 blinky b4...

The site will only let you order if they are in stock.

Thanks for the input. In my testing this pack revealed to be a great pack for the price. Glad to hear customers enjoying these.

I have been running the shorty 4300 50c packs and have been really happy with the packs! Great service and website also! Thanks.

Help me choose a battery :-)
 
I'm interested in these SMC batteries. My Venom 3s 4000 20c battery is currently swollen and I'm afraid to let my son mess with it even though it still holds a charge and the truck is fast.

I have Slash 4x4 (Model 6808) all stock. My son and I don't race (yet) so it's mostly bashing now. We want to go to a local indoor clay track so I only want to buy 2s for now.

What would be the best battery for my truck? I'm looking to buy 2.

I'm looking at these:
Race Formula 7.4V 5600mAh 70C Traxxas - Currently out of stock

Factory Spec 7.4V 6500mAh 60C Traxxas - I love the idea of long run times on this battery...

Factory Spec 7.4V 5000mAh 40C Traxxas - 10 bucks cheaper than the 6500 mah, is it worth it?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Danny/SMC 02-06-2013 04:37 PM

I would go with the 6500-60C as this pack has great performance for the price.

Just got my first SMC 2s 5000mah by recommendation. Pretty sure receipt has your name on it Danny. Thanks for the lipo! It looks amazing!

I really wanted the shortys, but they wouldn't be in stock until after the 2 main races of the year at my local track. Danny thought that these packs would offer the best voltage curve and lowest IR for blinky. I figure these batts along with my Fantom 17.5 Turn HT IONv.4 Works Edition motor should be a hot combo. I need every advantage I can get being such a bad driver.(note my sig) :D

I just ordered the 6500 60c with Traxxas connector today. I can't wait to try it out. Hope it gets to Ohio by Saturday!

I've heard nothing but good things about your batteries Danny as we have chatted a bit recently about my T4 application for the best batteries. I am looking forward to ordering a couple later this month, have to wait for some more cash flow. I will be sure to let you know how they work out.

WdotDynamite 02-07-2013 07:15 AM

I ordered a factory spec with the traxxas connector on 2/2 it arrived yesterday. Very fast shipping and I plan to test the battery today after work at the track. Hopefully it performs as well as the company did on shipping!!!! Thanks SMC!!
