SMC 28C 4000/5000 Hardcase Lipo part 2

Is the 5000 with the wires coming out the top going to be roar approved in time for vegas? I know it seems stupid, but yeah...

Even though I already have an SMC 5000 with the wires coming out of the side expected to arrive any day, I would still buy and want to run the new one at the IIC. Top located wires should be less prone to damage at their new more protected location...and would be safer. It will have no other performance advantage and the same running part number...per Danny.

Well that part number is on the approved list..... so all should be good... I hope...
Yeah I understand there is no performance gain.. I just didn't want to go up to tech and be told I can't run that pack ...

Aren't the 5000 and 4000 already ROAR approved. They are on the ROAR approved list as of FEB. 08. Am I missing something here?
Because I am looking at picking up two very little used 4000 packs and I thought that they are already approved.

The ones that are currently out are ROAR legal, and on the list.. The question is.. Beings they are changing the case on the new 5000's if they were still approved.. I'd hope so, but these big races can get pretty picky.

Matt 93. I think Danny posted the Saddle pack will be 4900mah and 22C. No special charging required because they are saddle packs.

Saddle pack samples are in and I have sent out a pack to a racer to test the fit and wire length. As soon as we know that the fit is o.k. we will go into production. The pack will be rated at 4900/22C and will come with 10 gauge wire to keep the resistance as low as possible. The dimensions are H 25mm x L 67mm x 45mm.
The pack I tested at 35 amps has 515 seconds , 7.34 average voltage and 7.2 IR. I think this is pretty good especially when you consider the length of the jumper wire.

SMC has already been in touch with ROAR on the issue. The cells themselves are NOT changing...Just where the wires come out of the case and the color. The part number will remain the same. There will not need to be a resubmission for approval although ROAR will get a pack to see and make note of the changes.
Matt 93. I think Danny posted the Saddle pack will be 4900mah and 28C like all the other packs. No special charging required because they are saddle packs.
