Some seem to like to do break ins but when I test packs I charge and discharge the same way from the first cycle to the last and the data stays very consistent.

I expect these to sell out fast so if you have the funds you may want to pre-order to make sure you get them. If at anytime you want to cancel your pre-order you can email me and I will cancel it and refund your payment.

Typically when a shipment comes in we take the first couple of days to fill out pre-orders and then add what is left as far as packs to the site.

Ok, Danny I've got part of them pre-ordered. I know you will, but please keep us up to date as a definite date these will be coming in. Thanks and can't wait to try these out in my late model.:D

BTW, if any of you are looking for an SMC Race 7.4V 5600 mAh, I have one brand new with inboard connectors.

Are these the same as RC King packs?

Actually I beleive they are, or atleast from the same factory.

I got my 4300 shorty battery today after playing an order over the weekend. I would like to say that I was really surprised when It was on my doorstep so soon.. I also surprised to see that it said it was ROAR approved as it makes no mention of it on the order sheet. I know that doesn't really matter but for the price of this battery I didn't expect it.

Also Danny was really friendly and helpful with my questions. He will be getting my business from here on out!

Glad to hear you got it so fast. Unfortunately the 4300 isn't ROAR approve and I must check with my employee to see why they have ROAR tape. I assume the factory put it on these packs by mistake.

Either way, It makes no difference really to me.. I just thought some people might like to know that.. Thanks for the great product!

The 7200mah 2S 70C inboard pack I got from RC King seems identical to the SMC pack other than the sticker...

Just wanted to thank Danny. It took a little longer to get my packs.
But it was well worth the wait the 7200mah 70c packs are great really woke my motor up.
I have a few cycles on them and they've really came to life.
GREAT LIPO AT GREAT PRICE.

WOW, I can't wait to run my Caster Racing Rapture truck this weekend at Amain Hobbies with my new battery. It is over 3oz's lighter. I was running a 7000mah and now have a 7200mah. That is great as the truck is heavy enough all ready..

It will be interesting to compare a smaller lighter pack to a bigger pack. Typically bigger cells should have lower IR but the latest batches of 7200s have been the lowest IR I have seen so far.

Did you order them in pre-order or did it take us time to get your order out ? Really doing all we can to keep up and I promise supply will get better unless sales keep increasing at a crazy pace like it has been.

For those who go on Facebook please check out the SMC page as I have a poll asking about what turns you guys use in mod with 540 motors.

Trying to release a high quality mod motor to go with our packs. The goal is to offer quality at a good price.
