r/c crowd and toxic items
Most r/c racers are too macho to let little things like toxic items deter them. I mean after all, racing r/c cars is such an important pursuit, that a little risk of permanent illness pales in comparison.
But I digress. I am very happy to see that smc has FINALLY come around and will try to release a hard cased lipo pack. When they do, I am sure they will gain many, many new LIPO customers.
Danny/SMC I think you are a much better and informed representative of smc after the compulsion to match tit for tat passes. Thank you for the information (and see, you are not getting beatup as much either). It is amazing what actually conversing instead of being in a huff does.

Dude must've been under a rock like me...I had no idea Kyosho owns Team Orion/Peak. How long has this been? I dont recall seeing any announcement to that effect...like when Thunder Tiger bought AE, Losi Jr. goes to Kyosho, Hara leaves Yokomo for HPI yada yada.

Don't belive me....get into Mini z's.......Kyosho is clueless in how to run a RC company....Don't belive me?....Ask ANY hobby shop how their support is....

As some of you implied that were just trying to sell our new Lipo pack by saying it's better since we say it's better this made me test our pack against the Orion 4800 as most seem to want to compare our pack with this packs when it comes to pricing and performance.
The test is done using a Comeptition Electronics GFX with Lipo upgrade.
The packs were charged at 5 amps and discharged at 35 amps down to 6 volts. The voltage sensing leads were attached at the solder point of the connector that would be put on your speed control wire. Which means this takes into consideration the voltage drop through the connectors.
SMC 5000LD: 527 seconds or 5123mAH , 7.22 average voltage and 10.2 internal resistance.
Orion 4800: 486 seconds or 4725mAH , 7.03 average voltage and 11.6 internal resistance.
I hope those of you who thought we just released a Lipo pack under the SMC name and wanted everyone to believe that it was as good or better than what is currently on the market will now believe us after viewing this test result. Also for those who keep saying our pack is to expensive I hope you can appreciate that our pack is slightly higher than its' rated capacity and has higher average voltage and lower IR which means an increase in power.

Here is part of an email I got from a racer who has been using our pack.
I got the 5000mah lipo pack from john, and that thing is awesome. It has amazing voltage, feels like at least a couple tenths of a volt better than the orion pacl. The only thing that I am having an issue is with my tc5, it is hard to fit it in because I have to tape the batteries in the car, and being setup like a stick pack I have a really hard time getting it to tape into the car. SoI have been running it in my tc4 where is fits like a glove. I am a big fan of the battery, but if you really wanted it the best possible I would set it up in a hard case that had a ridge to fit in battery slots, and possibly solder tabs, that had a conector soldered to it out of the box, but could be direct soldered by the racers who set their cars up that way. Right now I am running deans plugs which I am not that big of a fan of.
What is pretty cool is that he feels the pack runs a few tenths of a volts faster than the Orion pack and if you look at my test data our pack has .19 volts more and lower IR so I guess this guy has a pretty good feeling for power.
. While its nice to hear something feels faster in the end I really just want to know lap time differences
