The smc packs ( larger ones) have been a go to in the rc plane (3d aerobatics amd edf sport jets) for years im glad theyre making 1400 amd 1600 packs....finally someone to put quad gas amd r line packs in their places
can you take one apart and show us the inscription on the individual cells? I would like to make sure that if I order some.. they are manufactured with the same cells that you have used in your testing...
Hey chris i have a bonka U2 1580mAh 180C coming from rotor village, what would i need to do to get this shipped to you for a test to compare the the 1600mah
I've spent hundreds of dollars on SMC packs and never had one that didn't puff. I always discharge and storage charge batteries when not in use. They are high performance packs that degrade and don't last. I'd rather fly my tattus that are still good 2 years later.
Consistent with my battery experience, in general, though I haven't used SMCs packs. Mid performance packs, stay mid for much longer. Higher performance packs drop a cell pretty regularly. That's why I recommend GNB to novices and why we use Tattu and Dogcom for racing. Charging a pack in 10 minutes and discharging in 60 seconds or less, all while charging at voltages I shouldn't even mention... They are the most used racing batteries for a reason... Wouldn't mind testing some SMCs though.
@@jakearmor It's well documented online how puff prone SMC's are. You either aren't buying their high performance packs or you haven't had them longer than 6 months or haven't discharged them in a high performance scenario.
I’ve abused mine and never had one puff Only time I even damaged one was jump starting my truck with it, burned the xt60 right off These are great packs.
@@RepEvox Are you talking about the HV packs that puff when users subject them to abuse and overheating? Because I don’t see any “documentation” to support your assertion. On the contrary. If you go to RC Groups and read around you would think they walk on water. That’s a far cry from your experience.
lol i paid $50 for 3 gnb 2200mAh 4s and i get 7 to 9 min flight time on my light 6" for each of them still very impressive i'm somewhat curious how one manages to become a battery designer
useless right. "here's a pack you can only get in canada and im comparing it to packs you can get worldwide" comparison is pretty null and void because of that imo
Aren't SMC packs well know for puffing? They perform great but never last very long. Its like a known thing.. you race all day on an SMC and they are toast. Race day packs basically. Not daily packs. They perform, no doubt. But they are known for being basically disposable Also.. no one uses 6s 1800 Rlines, people use 1050s. Same performance less weight. 🤷
I love all the conspiracy theories on why they are testing out better. Lol. They are fresher. “Be sure to check the stamping on the cells” in case they use the bait and switch. They have the same color on their site as CNHL. Maybe, just maybe, they are actually better! The best part of this is that in a few days when people will have the packs and get an opportunity to run them, all the excuses and doubt will fade away. These are the real deal.

I had some of these for my fixed wing a 2800 ,& I used it for racing quads and got really long flight times. These always have been great batteries.
Thank you Chris for your clean and concise work in advancing our hobby. Just bought 5 through your affiliate links :)
The old SMC extreme packs were amazing way back in the day. Nice to see them return.
We need them in EU. Happy flying and Christmas !!!
can you take one apart and show us the inscription on the individual cells? I would like to make sure that if I order some.. they are manufactured with the same cells that you have used in your testing...
i don't even fly anymore, but im picking up a couple of these and downloading a sim..
Great info and great presentation like usual!
I'm going to buy one right now and test it.
Have you tested the thunder power packs? Thanks for the info on these SMC packs.

legend! THANKS!
Thanks Chris. Look good.. But i dont see any store selling it in Europe...
Now you have to add Thunderpower packs to your matrix.

Crazy. I’ve spend hundreds on them too and never had a single issue. Go figure. 🤷🏻♂️

6s 1600mha look promise, I wanna try this pack, there are so good test
I tried getting SMC for my planes and helis, but sadly they have no seller in the EU. Importing and shipping was just not worth it ☹️
lol i paid $50 for 3 gnb 2200mAh 4s
and i get 7 to 9 min flight time on my light 6" for each of them
still very impressive
i'm somewhat curious how one manages to become a battery designer
So basically only available in Northern America?
Only in shipping in the usa thought doubles the cost for me in new zealand
Why does their site have the same color palette as CNHL? Coincidence?
Only avaliable in USA and Canada? Any way to buy them from EU?
OMG, if SMC made some 5s 2200's, street league racers would lose their minds!!!!
Can you please ask them to make a 1s whoop battery please please😂
👍👍
I'm in when they make 8S.
They won’t ship to the uk because of some lipo shipping regulations 🤦♂️
useless right.
"here's a pack you can only get in canada and im comparing it to packs you can get worldwide"
comparison is pretty null and void because of that imo
Jesus. Take my money!
bro i aint got the money fo this
Got a 1400.
Any 8s
Thank you, Chris, perfect timing! I was wondering which battery I should pick up today :)
First to buy 10 😜

Is it possible that these packs are freshly brand new and the other packs are a little bit older
Nope, but it is possible that these are just BETTER. 😂
There are only so many companies making cells... jussayin

First 😛
Looking forward to when these come into your store
