I cannot for the life of me remember what that metal thing you put your gears in is called. I know a website sells them as a diff dunker, but I know that is not what it is actually called.

Man thats over a grand worth of lipos. If not 2 grand. I also love my SMC lipo packs. I have 4 - 2s 9000mah 60c, and 2 - 3s 6700mah 90c. Im looking at getting another 2 of the 3s 6700mah packs but am torn between those and the 6s 9200mah brick. I want to get the 6s 9200mah but can only use that in the Kraton as my other cars fit two smaller lipos on each side ran in series like my erevo. I have enough lipos for the erevo but wanna have the flexibility to use them in the erevo if i have to. I just want the 9200mah for the run life. My 2s 9000mah packs ran in series 4s config give me 45 mins of run time and want that from a 6s setup also. Thats why im considering the 9200mah 6s.

My question is how do you like the 6s 9200mah pack you have. I see you only have 1 of them but multiples of others. There a reason for that. Any info is greatly appreciated because im getting ready to pull the trigger on this order from smc.

What kind of run time are you getting from the 6S on the Kraton? I'm about to pull the trigger on a Kraton or Outcast and looking at batteries. On SMC -I have read about them puffing but have no first hand experience.

almost about $2k in less than 45 days just in batteries, lol
my suggestion base on my experience and type of cars.

I only have
slash 4x4 to xt90 connectors
kraton
stampede to xt90 connectors
dbxle to xt90 connectors

I have dedicated batteries for kraton which is the 2 pairs taped together 6700's and 1x 9200
(I love the 9200 tbh which I just recently got, lasts longer about 20 more mins 6700's on full hard play time, and it only take 1 outlet on my quad vs 2 outlet)
the 6700's are good as well don't get me wrong, only difference is play time same punch 90c on both but 6700 u will get about 30-40min on them I get about 45-50 on the 9200's and that good for me.

if I would get another battery of 9200? yes I would!

What kind of run time are you getting from the 6S on the Kraton? I'm about to pull the trigger on a Kraton or Outcast and looking at batteries. On SMC -I have read about them puffing but have no first hand experience.


once 1st time charge Dan said from SMC u get a little after 1st time full charge and after that, it never puff again. he said once charge settles but yes I ihave been running these batteries 3-6x mon-Friday and weekends all day no problems!!!
danny from smc is a good guy and does everything right by his Customers!!...would highly recommend as you can see I ONLY buy his quality products

on weekends I ran all day or try to so I need as much batteries as possible, lol

Dude, not that it's any of my business but you are either a very wealthy person or a heavily indebted person.

Dude has what looks like a Porsche 911 GT2 RS and Ferrari F430 in his driveway, I'm willing to bet he has some deep pockets.
