You need to go to his facebook page and send him a pm or contact him via the contact us link on the website. The last order of 4600's that came in did not meet spec, not sure when more will be in but he will have an answer for you.

He is selling them as the 4300 50C packs, They did not meet his spec as the IR was too high for what he wants in his 4600 70C. But they did fit in with what the 4300 50C specs are at, so those that order the 4300 50C are actually getting a little better pack than they thought they were.

I just noticed this on the SMC website.



The factory we buy our packs from is having issues with IR(internal resistance) on some models. This is creating some backorders and delays before we can get more packs in stock as we must wait until new bathes of cells are ready. Basically packs with higher IR will have lower performance. This may not be noticeable to everyone but we take pride in selling packs with a certain level of performance and we feel it's best not to sell these models until the issue is resolved. The 4670-2S2P shorty pack is one of our most popular models and we have many customers who have these on order or asking when more will be in stock. We had to sell the last shipment 4600s that came in as 4300-50C packs as the IR was higher.

We received a new shipment of 4300-50C from a different factory and the mAh is very good. We're seeing 4600+ on a iCharger when discharged at 10 amps. The IR of this new 4300-50C is a bit lower than the previous batches of 4300-50C but not as low as the good batches of 4600-70C packs. I believe this will make for a very good pack for the price as we're offering it for 29.95

For updates on backorders or info in general you should check out our Facebook page as we do post info as it becomes available.

Ive got an SCT410 RX8/Pro 4 HD 4300 that gets run hard and fast. Will the 7200 2s packs stand up to this or will they puff? I take care of my packs but I am looking for longer run times tahn my Thunder Power 5300 65c packs.

They will work fine. I've been running them in my sct410 for a long time now.

What kind of run time do you get? My daughter is just getting into the sport and is racing an LCG slash. We mess around a lot so she can get practice. Her CC3800 runs for like 20 minutes and I'm dead in 10. Same 5300mah packs.

I just got 2 of the "4300" packs, they are the 4600 packs that didn't meet expectations so they are sold as 4300's for $29.95 each. I have to say they are going to be VERY good packs, I am getting about 4mOhms per cell right off the bat! Thanks SMC for a GREAT deal and insane fast shipping as always!!!

I just picked up a set of squares for my Dex410, as they were made for this buggy. If you run saddles and can go square, it works better.
