I exclusively use SMC now, but I have used thunder power and venom as well with good results. I just can't see the reason to spend $100 on 1 batt, when I can get almost the same quality from SMC at half the price or less.

Just got done looking at the truck and the system they put in looks different.
1. The + and - wires are much thicker and the motor wires too.
2. The wire that connects to the receiver is white red and black.
Used to be orange and brown.
3. I guess i shouldn't be picky but it looks like they ran it without the body one and it flipped because my back body post are shredded. Lil bit of meat left to put the body clips on
I went with spc because when i get used to this truck with that power i will later used them for my hpi Sprint's that i got wile i was waiting on my emaxx. Then the 6s will come in to play

Ok i just ran the truck and it runs alot better!
More punch and a heck of a run time.
The lipos didnt even get warm at all and i got tired befor any sighs of low power.
The motor stayed at 127 degrees.
When charging they didnt get hot at all is that normal?
My nimh packs got hot charging and after runs.

These lipos are super light as well. Not even both put together make a 7 cell

That's completely normal for them to not get hot, when charging or running

Ok so tomorrow we have a fun rc day at my lhs. I was wondering if i can charge my lipos tonight and used them in the morning or do i need to charge right befor i leave the house?

DAMN TREES
You can charge them tonight, lipos hold a charge pretty good. A lot better then nimh. Just don't charge them well you sleep, but from previous posts I see you know that and respect lipos for what they can do if left to charge unattended
