SMC is a reputable brand. A lot of racers use them. It's just they are a little pricey. If you don't mind the extra cost, then I would go with SMC.chinahobbyline.com has mainly the racing series that Grey said to avoid.
Rcbattery.com only has 5 and 6k mah liperior's that will fit the two big trucks I'm looking to feed. I tried some other low MAH batteries and they dont work well. Very short run time and they heat up. If I remember correctly, 7-8k mah is what is recommended in the Outcast running the XLX2 and 1100kv setup.
Hobbyking has nothing in the correct size and cell count.
I didn't see Grey mention SMC. Are they any good? Is that something that was tested? They seem a little pricey but I dont mind if they are worth it.
$55 for a 5200mah 4s is not bad, mine was under 2 IR out of the box too.SMC is a reputable brand. A lot of racers use them. It's just they are a little pricey. If you don't mind the extra cost, then I would go with SMC.
Yeah, that's not bad really.$55 for a 5200mah 4s is not bad, mine was under 2 IR out of the box too.

I am not a big fan of high capacity batteries because of 2 reasons.4s. The length cannot exceed 6.95 inches which is the dimension that seems hard to match up. Height isn't an issue and width around 2 inch. 5k mah are too small. I'd like to be in the 8k range or better. I have a set that are 9k mah at exactly the above mentioned dimensions so what I'm looking for should be possible. with XT90's would be nice but I like the smell of solder and have a pile of connectors so not necessary.
I assumed that you are running 10 or 8 scale because you have limited size battery compartment. I don't have any 5 scale except xmaxx, but I think xmaxx is not a true 5 scale, more like 6, and liperior pro 5000 mah 75c perform flawlessly.Have you ever ran 4 and 5k mah packs in a 1/5 scale? I have and it's not good. Less than 10 min run times and the lipos get hot. I guess it's possible that the 3 brands I've tried just weren't up to the task but I don't believe that's the case.
Because I'm running a castle system, I decided to ask them and while they were reluctant to offer up brand advice, they did say to run 7k mah minimum.
I've tried zeee 8k mah with mediocre results. Zeee 9k's were much better as far as temp and longevity but were out performed peak power wise by a set of similar mah gens.ace bashers. Unfortunately, the GA's had a very short life span. Very disappointing considering they were some of the highest priced batteries out there.
I understand that everyone has opinions on this and I appreciate everyone's input. I just want something that's actually worth the money and won't melt down.
