How about an ETA on the 4S 6500 Race packs? I have two on pre-order (order ID# 2341)

This model is due in on Thursday and we will start filling out pre-orders on Friday.

When will the Canadian dealers get them?

The Canadian online site will get them by the middle or end of the following.

Ran a 100 minute endurance race today (Chula Vista Race Club CVRC 100) with my 2w SC10 on these 7200 SMC packs. We were almost able to do the entire race on 3 packs. Probably could've if we hadn't pitted a little too early on the first pack. I was also able to get that 1st pack charged back up just in time to run the 3rd leg.

Less pit stops allowed us to finish 2nd just a few seconds ahead of an otherwise faster team that pitted more times.

I saw some other teams running SMC packs as well. Very impressed with these race formula packs Danny, I'm a happy customer... No more nanotech for me.

I ordered a brushed sc10 rtr to race in a spec class. The battery must be a 2s. What battery would best be suited for a stock brushed motor/esc? The longest races would be 10 minutes. Thanks Andy. Does anyone if the sc10 takes a standard size stick pack?

CentralCoaster 06-02-2013 06:15 PM

What are the motor limits? 17T? If the motors are limited/slow then it is especially important to get the highest C rating and mah you can afford. This is because you want maximum voltage to reach the esc and motor during the entire race. High C rating ensures less current drop under load (lower internal resistance) and higher mah means it will have more voltage at the end of the race.

You could also try a shorty pack if lightweight is your thing or if the motor struggles to push the weight around the track. It's not as much an impact in SC as a buggy, but it helps.

If the motor power isn't a limiting factor then the C rating and mah are less important.

The motors are limited to any that came in a rtr sc kit. You can mix brands. Most people seem to be running the titan or the stock sc10 motor. Thanks

bring it on 06-02-2013 09:53 PM

I ran my SMC batteries again today and run flawlessly. Thanks Danny

I ran my smc 7200 pack on friday in my Tekno sct410 for the win. The pack worked flawlessly.

I run an sc10 w/ a titan 12t in a spec motor class... I run the 5000 40c, the 6500 60c, and the 5600 70c. all work great... We have races up to 8 minutes long. I've never come close to running out of battery.. If the quality of my driving was as good as the quality of the batteries, i'd be finishing on the podium much more often..
