Ooh sorry. Thanks for the info.

thats great to know, as tekin discontinued there 1900kv motors, even tho there still out, there I have a HONEST guy I deal with, when he called to get me a fresh motor, thats what he was told, Danny's top Notch, Been Running SMC Power, for Years, RED NIMH"S Anyone? LOL

dude run the 7400 for race as well, I WOULDN'T GO LOWER THAN 6000, think about it, with all the new LIHV reedy zapper 160$$$ LIHV lipos , there out there, I'm running the 7400MAH....Danny runs em, good Enuff for him, PERFECT FOR ME!!!!

You have a point.

I'm going to keep it above 6000mah but isn't the LiHV "advantage" the slightly higher voltage? mah is just related to run time? so even a higher mah pack still wouldn't have the punch of a LiHV pack?

it is, but have you seen a LIHV below 6000plus mah? there out there, but no one going to buy them, when there at 6400 for $20 more? and the MAH CLIMBING...

ok let me re phrase that, if your racing e -buggy, these guys are out there.....

last week, they were EVERYWHERE, JUST SAYING BROTHER... I have 2 coming my way, but for large venue's, local and large, SMC lipos.... are way more versatile, who wants to run a $170 lipo @ a club race, only the guys getting a FREE meal tickets dont mind, think about it, do you wake up and go to a JOB????

And if you wanna go that way go for it, what you gonna do, later, as this hobby ROLLS OVER PEOPLE, only a few survive, FACT.......and there ALL in Cali, LOL

I HAVE zero doubt will not disappoint, the E-Buggy's are overpowered as it is, Danny has you covered , not doubt, just get the higher mah, trust me.....

just talking to wife and daughter, Ducane, thats how I pronounce, altho its a silly French name,

and I have 2 more after her, right after we finish her 5th year, my sons up on deck,,,this hobby crazy $$$

Point is, SMC/Danny doing a awesome thing regardless of the crap up top...


get the most for your $$ and your in the right place, I dont wanna show up w/a 2000k plus TOY, and have someone edge me out, over spending a few bucks more on POWER.... Just my take, Im No One....



Im staring down a 245k bill, in 5 years....for my daughter to get her Masters.....Which I WILL Provide,

I have 3 kids, unless the other 2 gonna make a 1/10000chance out of making a GOOD living for YEARS TO COME in the hobby, aint happening...
r/c a hobby, not long term life...50/60/70/80 years old? Im talking,,,/Annuity/Pension /401k. I can go on and on...LOL

anyone know if SMC is looking to do 4S lipos with 5mm bullets like that reedy or trinity battery?

Gotcha and understood. On a budget too, with a wife and a son who didn't like nitro is now eyeing my eBuggy

I have purchased over 10 to 12 packs from SMC and i always have to cut off the connector and solder my own connectors since i use xt150. Just seems like a waste of connectors since i cut off whatever connector i chose when purchasing. Just curious if possible to get xt150 on them since im planning on getting a couple 5400mah 6s packs.

I'm looking to get a couple 7.4V SMC LiPos for local club Short Course races. Which one should I get?

Thanks!

Has anyone run the 3700mah 4s? Looking for run time mainly. Will it run a 10 minute main?

Depending on layout, motor and overall vehicle weight it should make a 10 min main (I did it with the older SMC 3600 Mah battery). Running 1/8 buggy indoors my prefered battery is the 4500 Mah SMC battery (sized like a 3s battery) the 4500 Mah batteries seem to have a much better life span while still being a light weight 4s battery. If you are looking for the lightest weight then the 3700 MAh is your ticket.

Looking to run the SMC 4500mah 14.8v in an AE RC8B3.1e, Tekin Gen3 Tekin 1900kv motor, 46t spur on to 15/16t pinion.

Outdoor large track. do the 4500mah cut it for 10 minute races? I like the idea of not having extra weight in the car and having the CG low as possible if its enough.

EDIT: Just got news from the Australian SMC stockist that the 4500mah is being replaced by a 5000mah in the same size. I think 5000mah should be spot on.

Yeah, the 5000mah are nice.. they sold some a few months ago for testing and I've been running them in buggy and truggy making 10-minute mains.
