You guys giving Danny and SMC a hard time really need to calm down and look at things from his perspective. First, you have no idea how long he has been in "this" battery business. Him selling packs as he does is something new. Years ago when most of you would not have made it in the hobby (sub c days) he had some of the best matched (hence the name) batteries you could buy. But you couldn't buy them direct. He setup the direct ordering strictly for US, the customers, to pass savings on. He cares about the hobby and about his customers.

The Chinese new year put EVERYONE behind. He is not alone in this waiting for batteries venture. They all come from overseas! The 48 hour thing has been on his site since DAY 1 of offering the packs direct. Nothing has changed.

The bottom line is, if you don't like it, you don't have to order from him. Don't come in here bashing him and the company for something that has no effect on the product he offers.

One last thing to think about.......he is in business to make money, how much do you think he makes if he doesn't even have the batteries to sell to US?
