[Greywolf74]

Not I.

 

[hamz9561]

Never seen them before.

Lol the first thing that came to mind is that pack being mexican, for the red and green and such, I know I'm a tad retardededed.

Never heard but I am sure the folks around here enjoy new reviews on packs.

 

[zrock]

Ya I thought the same thing. Tryed searching for reviews but not really a lot out their.

 

[Racer 1966]

If they're priced right,I wouldn't be afraid to try them. There are a LOT of different badges on batteries,that's how the Chinese roll. But seriously, there are not that many places that can handle lithium and make batteries so I wouldn't be surprised if they came out of the same factory as a Turnigy,Blue LiPo,gensacearespammers,Zippy,Venom or even MaxAmps.

 

[bgbdwlf2500]

^ agreed

 

[2revo1maxx]

I agree with Racer, but for piece of mind I'd look at Turnigy lipos. They have a solid rep and are cheap too.

 

[zrock]

they are a bit more expensive than the gensacearespammers.. but since i can't find any reviews on them i don't want to drop that much money and find out they are worse than my NIMH..

 

[REVO-5309]

go with turnigy lipos, they are basically disposable at there price. $10 for a 2200mah 3s pack is cheap

 

[zrock]

never find a lipo in canada for that price. I want lipo's for run time so going with that size is pointless in the summit...

The above lipo is going for about $84 seems to be the general price in canada for around this size give or take $10

Have you ever had a look at SMC batteries? Go to the website and you can get the email of a guy in Canada who sells them. I got 2 packs and they've worked flawless and I got them for under $60 for both. The packs are 2s 5000mah 30c, I'm going to order more once they get more stock in.

There are several different ones you can pick, just have a look

When I priced the guy in Canada his site was listing them at 60 a pc. Unless I'm looking at the wrong Canadian site. I was pretty sure it was the right site as their was a long Canadian forum where they had quite the waiting list for more batteries. Ill have to check again


Dud. If your trying to prove me wrong try posting a Canadian site! Everything is cheeper across the border

 

[wacmartin]

Did you look at factory spec or race spec? http://www.smc-racing.net/index.php?route=product/product&path=67_97&product_id=118
They are on back order but will come in stock again, when you start going to higher rates and mah values they can get that high. But 50c 5000 mah packs are still in the $30-$40 price range.

I don't know what battery you're looking at but some are $60
And the highest 2s is $70

 

[zrock]

did not see that site... Thanks ill be ordering some.. What kind of run times you getting?

 

[Greywolf74]

SPC packs are supposed to be awesome. I've seen really good reviews on them and I've never heard anything but good about them. For folks in the US there are a couple of brands that are close in quality and a bit cheaper but with the added shipping to Canada the SPC may be the right fit for you.

 

[wacmartin]

In my savage flux I'm getting 18 to 23 minutes I suppose, that's with 2 2s 5000mah 30c packs. I've used the same packs in my on road and I race with it so I couldn't tell you what times I was getting with that.
A lot of racers are using them up here and liking them. If you order them I'd click the link on the SMC site that say Canadian availability and it will take you to a Canadian forum and the first guy who's posted up there Danny-SMC I think his name is, email him (his email is in the post) info on what's available and what he'll have coming in and when. He charges the same prices on the American site except you won't have any additional fees associated with bringing merchandise into Canada. Shipping for me was like $13 for express. Actually he might be a couple bucks more but nothing ridiculous.
