Ok whats the issue?

Where did Speedpower or ROAR do something wrong?

Speedpower never said the pack was 2s1p....nor did they say it was 2s2p. YOU ASSUMED that it was 2s1p....so why are they doing something wrong? It was your assumption that was wrong....Speedpower never said anything so you assumed what it was. There for all the blame is on you for making the wrong assumption.

From what I was told it will be hard to find any pack that’s above 5000mah that’s 2s1p.....if you want the capacity you are going to go 2s2p. Because this isn’t advertised who’s at fault? Or are you just looking to make a big deal out of nothing?

Here are the ROAR rules.....

8.3.2.4 The battery pack shall have leads extending from the case for the positive and
negative electrical connections using wire of adequate size to handle discharge rates
acceptable to racing applications. Alternatively, the case shall have external
connection points for these wires clearly marked positive and negative so the user can
apply the lead wires. Markings on the case are required stating the rated voltage and
capacity of the battery. The Value Added Manufacturers name and/or logo shall be
easily readable on the case. Individual cells used in the construction of the battery
shall be rated at 3.7v nominal. A 2s 7.4v nominal battery pack shall be 2 cells in series
and a 4s 14.8v nominal battery pack shall be 4 cells in series. Multiple cells in parallel
may be used.

This is also not showed on the boxed no badge about what's in,
This ROAR APPROVED Lipo is failed to be transparent to customer.

as the case is not transparent, and no label on its HardCase,

this is know, as the Hard Case is Pop Up, uncased accidentally like shell,
and we saw it from the side it was, 4Layer inside, so for 7.4V we made conclusion it is 2S2P,

the 2S2P also cause bad in Balancing The Lipo.

we hope Speed Power Pay attention about this.
Thank's
