Default SMC

I got my first Smc lipo and it was damn good 5100 mah 4s 40c lipo. No heat issuse, and made a 8 minute main with no loss of power. And I just ordered my 2nd 4s last night. The ec5 plug never gave me any problem at all!!!!!!!!

$11 to ship (UPS) a motor seems a bit excessive. Why not put that thing in a $5 priority box?

Ease up tough-guy, SMC ships 2 batteries for $7 why would a motor be $11? It's not like I'm making this up. It's more like that great deal on tv where you get the 2nd item for $1 then in the small print you pay $20 for S&H.

Actually the answer is quite simple...a motor box doesn't fit in a small flat rate Priority Mail box with any padding. I've shipped a bunch of motors lately and they keep asking me why I don't use the flat rate box as it would save me money. It just doesn't fit, the can diameter is larger than the thickness of the small flat rate box.

Now that's a logical answer, thanks. But I forget, what size box does 2 batteries come in?

They would fit in a small USPS flat rate. I haven't ordered 2 at a time yet so not sure.

I don't work for SMC and I'm not sponsored by them...just put their site in my signature because of the banning issue here.

I see the shipping went up a few days ago.
It was 6 bucks to ship two batteries, now 7.

I'm pleased to announce that SMC is now a sponsor on RC Groups and we have our own section in the Vendors forum.

For those who have been following me on RCtech I had a difference with the people running that site and they even suspended me. I will no longer post on RCtech even if they remove my suspension.

Questions can be asked in the thread son RC Groups or on our Facebook page.
What!? You have to be Effing kidding me? There are scammers all over the For Sale forums, as well as internet cowboys who spew hatred towards other members every day and they remain on the forums. Yet they suspend someone who consistently demonstrated positive contributions to this forum?

Ahem, Ahem . . . hey moderators . . . oh moderators . . . . you can take my user name on here and shove it up your collective hiney holes! I no longer need to be a part of this BS

That is ridiculous. In a show of support I'm adding SMC to my signature.
