Oh #%@!! What did I do to my SMC Lipos?

[lincpimp]

Yeah, you bought some smc lipos on spec alone, and they could not keep up. Happens all the time with maxamps products, and many other mfgs. Get some good solid proven packs and you will be fine. Any enerland 5000mah cell pack will be fine, and the hyperion g3 packs look good too. I have a feeling you could go with a 2 and 3s pack og the g3 lipos for under 200 bucks... That is what you spent on the smc packs. That and a smaller pinion and you will be surprised with the results.

Try to send the smc packs back and at least get some replacements. Sell them off and get something decent...

higher voltage with appropriate gearing and motor selection will give the optimum setup....only reason im running 4s on my NEU maxx is i am using a MM and 4s is already pushing it a bit.


quality differnece in $220 maxcraps (smc may be like maxamps..) and $180 neu packs with enerland 5000mah cells......
