I run a little different setup than most I imagine. I run 1/8th E-buggy only at the moment. I have 4 4S 6500mah packs that I bring with me charged to the track. First pack is warmup + heat 1, 2nd is for heat 2, 3rd is for BMain (if necessary), and 4th pack is for the AMain. I run my cutoff V in the ESC @3.6V( I almost never hit the cutoff). I then take them home and charge them at 1C (6.5A) to 3.8v(storage V), and then to full charge usually 1-2 days before my next race.
When doing storage cycling (like over the winter) I charge them to 3.8v(storage V) then once a month charge them @ 1C to full charge, and then discharge them @ 3C to 3.6v (my charger has a built in 30A discharge circuit appx 4.3C max) and then wait an hour and recharge them back to 3.8v(storage V). This is a really easy life cycle for my lipo packs and they seem to last alot longer this way.

I run these batts in my Tekno converted Losi 8ight buggy with a 1900KV Tekin T8 and I've never hit my 3.6v cutoff in a 10 minute main. I can't imagine the Truggy would be pulling that many more amps than my buggy does so you couldn't make a 10 minute run on one. Usally in practice I can get 13-14mins out of it until it starts losing significant punch near the cutoff.

We have the 6560s for your order we don't have the 5600s with Traxxas. I will see if my employee can take some with Deans and switch the connectors but we're so busy trying to get orders caught up it may take a few days.

I just want to give a shout out to Danny & the crew at SMC for the awesome job their doing to provide us with these awesome packs! I have cycled my new 2s 5600mah 70c race formula pack about eight times now and it feels stronger every week at the track, noticeably more power than my other packs. Keep doing what your doing guys, u have a customer for life!
