I ran my 2 4S 60-120C 6500's for the first time today. Wow, a noticeable amount of extra runtime compared to my tired Turnigy 5000's! I charged one of them a second time but didn't get to use it - then my charger timed-out the 2-hour safety window trying to drag it back down to a storage charge: lots of electrons in there

I ran my new 5000mAh 40c 2S inboard pack in two VTA races so far and it has been great. It is on par or better than a Reedy pack I have with the same specs that cost over $100. SMC is my battery company.

Danny / SMC..I recieved my stick packs last week and tested them out yesterday. They performed just as well or better than my "high-end" packs during real world testing at a local track. Thanks for providing excellent products at an affordable price.

My only complaint is I didn't order any SMC stickers for my RC body

Glad to hear you like your new packs. As I mentioned before the battery market is just full of hype and BS and my goal is to offer the best possible packs at the best prices.

Yes we can but we have to ship via UPS so shipping isn't cheap.

The Revolectrix CellPro PL6 is hard to beat...

Yes the Revo PL6 for the price per watts is unbeatable and if you hook it up to your PC it's fully adjustable. Been using the Pl8 for a few years and it's very good. Other high quality chargers are the iChargers and Hyperion chargers. Be careful with the super cheap chargers being offered online as typically these are made to be cheap and corners are cut on the boards and components.

Turnigy fatboy is made in the same factory as the pl8 just different graphics and 10 dollars cheaper.
