Smc lipos

[eric113]

I got a Spartan in a trade. Not my first choice.

I'm looking to get 2 sets of lipos and have been looking at smc 9000mah 60c 3s

Or
Revolectrix 5000mah 3s packs. I read the revo's run better than the standard lipos.

Which would be better?

The 5000mAh 3S Revo's are good batteries, I ran them last summer. The 9000mAh SMC's are going to be big and heavy and take forever to charge.

I also used 5000mAh 3S battery.

I have several SMC packs and they have been very good. I wouldn't hesitate to buy anything from them.

For me, in this order. Revolectrics, SMC, SPC (last two are the same cells). Agree about the 9000mah, will be BIG. I still have some 7200mah from them. They are the size of 4s packs.

SPC stopped selling their r/c packs a few months ago. I agree I also have a pair of 3s 7200mah SPC's and they are pretty large partly because of the hardcase.

I had SMC packs before, I liked them never had a problem.

The reason I was asking about 9000mah packs for longer run times(not all at once 6-7 mins let them rest, then another short run) but now that I typed that out, sounds stupid. After looking at the specs of the revo's they seem like good packs. Revo>SMC I like you said.

SPC stopped selling lipos, I would have said gen aces... but everywhere I looked has been out of stock. Venom seems like hit and miss.

[Erroneous]

Venom is a miss.

SMC
Great power and longer runtimes

So SMC over Revos?

In my opinion for your application most definitely.
Those batteries will have much more power and you will have a much longer run time.

So 5600mah and 9000mah packs?

Revo 5000mah vs SMC 9000mah packs, personally I would choose SMC for greater overall power and runtimes.
