2C without any issues. I know people who charge them faster than that but Danny recommends 2C.

I am running that pack in my 22T and 22SCT, they work great, I have been running them since November and they are holding up awesome.

You can charge up to 6C or possibly even higher but I recommend 2C or 3C as this will give the best balance between charging time and getting a full charge.

The price using UPSP flat rate Priority is 6.00 for 2 packs.

Orders are done through the site. You don't need to register to our site to place orders.

Here is a picture of the Deans end I got today, is it a knock-off?
They look good to me.

i don't believe actual deans have those ridges and i don't think they're that dark in color.

i wouldn't be so concerned about whether or not it's an "actual deans" plug. there are quality deans knock offs and there are cheapo ones. i know the pro-tek knock offs are very good quality. the hobbyking ones? not so much. i bought a bunch of them one time and they were hit and miss with fitment.

Oh, please, don't get me wrong, if they are knock offs, they look great.
I am not concerned if they are real or fake, as long as they do the job.

Hi, I ordered some lipos the other day, I saw on this post all items were to be shipped tuesday/Wednesday. I ordered them on the 22nd, it is now June first. My order is 2236.. Both items are in stock. When will it be processed, or is your system just taking forever to update? I tried calling 3 times today but the phone rang, and not body picked up. Idk what your business hours are as I couldn't find them on your website. I would like these packs soon.. I have a race on the 8th. Thanks!

Due to the knock off connector issue I've decided to not bring in any more packs from that supplier and made a deal with our other supplier that supplies us with the 70C packs. This means we will now offer the 6500-70C pack as a 3S pack. I hope by dealing with one supplier I this will help us have more control over supply. Seems like the other supplier wasn't able to keep up with our demand.

I hope to have some info early this coming week as to when they can ship us some 6500-70C-3S.

For those who have these on pre-order and are tired waiting just email me and I can issue a refund.

Just got another 2 lipos and I'd have to say u have a customer for life. I've been using the 6500 60c 2s inboard for months in my 4wd sc and love them. So I got two more 5000 40c for my stadium truck.

Sorry seems like your order hasn't been processed. Need to look into this with my employee. I know you don't need an excuse you just want your order but we have be slammed with orders and pre-orders and we're still trying to get use to pre-orders as it's not easy to handle these. We offered this option due to demand but it's one more thing we need to manage.

I will update you on Monday.
