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.
Hey Danny,
Im not mad or anything, maybe a little disappointed, but I understand you didnt have control over the other packs. I appreciate you trying to only sell the best. My friends and I have waited this long, it would be dumb to cancel now. Just please keep us updated as soon as possible when you know anything about the new packs. Thanks!

2C on that battery would be 11.2A.

Try reading this to get a better understanding of the specifications and usage of your lipo batteries.

I had no choice to do this change and it will be for the better. In 7 years dealing with our supplier who does the 70C packs I never once got fake connectors. Also when I place an order it gets done within a reasonable amount of time except for 2 months when China goes all wacky due to Chinese New Year vacation. Seems like for these 2 months everything in China is messed up.

In the end we will only stock one 6500 model and it will be a better pack. The 3S price will stay the same. The 2S and 4S will go up 5 dollars but these are both ROAR legal.

Thanks for understanding and I'm begging our supplier for some 3S packs. Hope they can get me some sooner than later.

So there will no longer be a 4s 6500mah 60C Factory Spec pack only the 70C Race Formula and the price will go up to $114.95 is that correct?

I'm good with that. Still a better battery for a lower price than anywhere else!

Thank you for the quick reply Danny. And I completely understand, business right now for you must be truly crazy, things here and there happen. Good to hear things are getting taken care of.

Any ideal when the 2s 6500 70c inboard will be shipping? Just wondering. I was told they would ship this week of the 31st of this month.

The 4300 shorty I received has a roar sticker, but they are not on approval list (yet). when did they sent it in for approval? Just want to make sure I'm legit before nats come around.

Danny posted earlier that one of his emplyees must of made a mistake, only the 4600mah shorty is ROAR legal, not the 4300mah, hence why it isn't mensioned on his site or ROAR's site.
