Any plans on releasing a ~3300 6s hardcase pack? I'll be running e-truggy and i'm going to go with a 1350Kv motor most likely. I've been super pleased with my 6500mah race formula 2s packs in 4wd sct all season.

Thanx Danny, can't wait

We're doing all we can to try and keep up with orders and pre-orders. We do have the 5100-4S in but can only list them on the site once all pre-orders are filled out. I believe we have enough to list them on the site tomorrow.

No plans at this time to offer 6S as we try and focus on packs that are popular and will sell well. There is MOQ for us to release any new model and unless we're sure it will sell well we really can't release a model.

I went ahead and pre-ordered 2 of the 4s race packs. If you list the smaller 4S packs tomorrow I may pick up a pair of those as well.
Do any of you guys find that you need to change up your settings on the buggy to run the larger race packs? Are they much heavier?

My only other decent options are around $125. I would much rather support your company. E-truggy seems to be blowing up at a lot of tracks. I hope this creates some market for the higher cell count users.

For 17.5 Stock Buggy Class (b4.2), do you suggest the 70c shorty? I could use a little extra punch to get over that double at WCRC that follows the sweeper. 
Also any recommendations for care? I see a ton on the forums and would be interested to cut through it all and hear from the people involved in purchasing and testing these.
Break in? Storage thoughts? Nothing special?

Danny encourages stock racers to use 4600-70C pack for the very reason you state. I have one and it is quite impressive. Performs better than my Protek full size 2s used to.
These batteries can be charged at 2-3C with little issue. Higher than that can be done but you won't get a complete charge.
No break-in necessary. Charge it and go.
Recommended storage voltage is 3.6-3.8 V per cell. That info is listed in the instructions that come with the pack.
