Protc and Miholc- the SMC is literally a 4s shorty not two 2s Shortys like in your picture.

It's been a cold, wet winter, but we hit 65 today! So the EB48 and SCT410 shook off the cobwebs for a couple packs.
I tested out the SMC 4600 shortly and was quite happy. I haven't run a SMC since I was comparing cell printouts on packs before building them
Punch was great, 2/3 the weight of my ~5200, and the option to tune via the position in the chassis. I like a lot of grip up front in the corners, so I put about 1/3 foam in the front and 2/3 in the back, shifting the chassis weight forward just slightly. I had 14.52v left after a good hard 12:00 run at one of the local tracks. I still have a jerky nitro trigger occasionally, and I'm heavy on the throttle. I have to look, but I think 70-80% limit on the Tekin Gen2. I would mind seeing a standard length LIPO, but less height keeping that weight down, improving inside body airflow, and avoiding the use of foam spacers. We don't do a bunch of warmup laps before races, so I would have no concerns with going 10m on this one.
That being said, Tekno, I would really like to see a optional tray for both vehicles that have the straps just cross in the middle (not two the short ways). I will probably try it out myself, but it is limited due to the screws in the middle.
Track I'm referring to. There are a lot of smaller obstacles that are hard to see on the picture, but a lot of it is hammer down:
