We offer low resistance adapters cheaper than most companies offer the crappy adapter that comes with the cheaper packs. We're currently out of stock but have more coming in our shipment due in early next week.

I'm running 2x3s 6500mah 70c SMC packs in my soon to be 100mph car and they are legit! The power is explosive and for the money I think you'll be hard pressed to find a better pack. So far I'm really happy with mine and will be ordering some other packs soon! Plus SMC has great support on RcTech as you can see!

Does anybody here use his 6500 4s packs for there starter box at all. i am wondering how it does. like how many time do you have to charge it say for like 3 warm up and 3 quails and and 2 mains. Thinking of changing my pb battery to lipo and putting a 3s for my comp heater soon.

Putting a 6500 in a starterbox is waaaaay overkill. A small 2500 should last a whole weekend.

Hey Danny after reading this hole thread threw the night and doing plenty of other google searching I just placed a order for some 6500 70C 2s for my savage FLUX HP In hopes I will finally get my 4s back flips! haha My old Gens ace never could get the savage to do a back flip! Anyways planing to be a long time customer! Very impressing how well you help and treat folks on here! Also I do like the fact you sell packs at different ratings such as race/factory and out of spec! The higher IR/not so well matched packs will surly work great in the kids and wifes RCs

EDIT: One more thing! I really like not having to solder on new connectors and you have the rite size direct connect packs!! Please keep the direct connects!! So many company's now seem to have mostly the 4mm bullets to plug into the pack. I hate that! lol plus they don't work so well in the savage like the directs do!

Your the second customer to have something like this happen this week. Never seen this before.

I will contact Paypal and see what is up with this. USPS told me the order will get delivered like normal but very odd that Paypal is issuing old tracking numbers.

I just heard from Jeff at Evo Hobbies that there was something new coming. Mentioned a rebrand.

Next month we will offer a 5000-50C-2S as we have demand for VTA packs so we will replace the 5100-40C with the 5000-50C but the price will be 5 dollars more for the 50C.

We have some 5600-3S soft case packs for the E-Revo and Savage Flux style dual pack trucks coming in early next week. In a few weeks the 9060-2S2P will be replaced by a 9400-60C-2S and that is all for now.

Nothing new and special coming out for now. I personally think the current materials are maxed out and there is really no way to make better cells at this time. IR is very low and mAh is high for the size. My 4mm versus 5mm test doesn't really make me want to release 5mm packs just to be following the trend.

Working on some flight packs now. Think we have a very good 2200-3S style pack we will release in 2 months. I will also use my new rating system called True Spec for the flight packs.
