From the prices on stormer they are fairly cheaper

64.95 6-cell
42.95 4-cell

Anybody else deadshort these??? Give up your results :p .

We have updated our website finally.

site looks awesome needs sound (j/k)

Wow Danny the site is wicked! I love the way the cells roll over when you hover over them in the products page. Whoever designed the site did an awsome job.

I'm real happy with our new site. We will keep tweaking it. SMC has focused on quality and supply. We now feel that the next step will be to do a better job at promoting oour products. The serious racer knows SMC but the average racer who doesn't know about us maybe will try our stuff due to Ads and better a better looking website.

Need to put a "skip intro" button on the front pages of the SMC and Jaco sites.

Do you mean on the very first page at www.smc-racing.com (http://www.smc-racing.com) if so I see a skip button on the top left part of the page.

If it's in the "flash" portion of the screen, then it's not viewable by everyone.

I will ask our webmaster to look into this. My skills with PCs are click and enter thats about it.

The 'skip' button is part of the flash program and it really should be outside of it. That way, someone who doesn't have flash installed, can still get to your website. However, your entire site is flash. You may want to have a non-flash version still accesible.

Many company computers do not have Flash installed or limit access to Flash based content... helps keep workers from playing Flash based games.

Like me :cry: . I can't see the SMC site when at work.

Hmm.. if you shouldn't be playing games at work... maybe you shouldn't be looking at RC equipment sites at work? :) Unless you are in the RC business...

Actualy I'm of the old school that says you shouldn't have anything but text and .jpg images... but it seems very few want to do this these days... everyone wants to show off a really fancy site... No offense to SMC with regard to this... However in my opion, sites should at least offer two differnt versions of their site... one for glitz, and one that has all the details without the glitz...

I'm just fortuante that I do have a computer that can veiw most anything these days... But then I also have one that can't read hardly anything fancy. I was impressed when I was still able to read hobbytalk on the old no frills computer...

Turd, are you by any chance from Maryland?

Been in the computer biz for a while now. We use to have a saying . . . . "GUI is for girls" :p

I wonder if the use of the NOVAK smart tray would be good for these cells. The ability to equalize all cells to .9 volts. What do you think?

I'm pretty sure it will work fine. So far in our track testing we have been leaving them alone with good results but bringing them down to .90 before you charge them should be o.k..

Danny,

The LHS that I go to do not carry your batteries. They seem happy to only to carry Trinity, Reedy or Orion batteries.

Anyway, I am trying to purchase some of your batteries online but nobody seems to list any numbers for your packs -- for example, stormerhobbies.

[I am not bashing so don't take my next question the wrong way]

Is there a reason that numbers for your batteries are not listed? I guess I would just like to know what I am purchasing or would like to have a choice as to what I am purchasing other than 4 cell or 6 cell versus pot luck.

Slipnslide: If your concerned about numbers our best numbers are the 3506STK(best voltage) , 3506MOD(best capacity). The next level down is 3506P. Those are all part numbers for the GP3300s matched at 35 amps.


The IB cells have the following part numbers 3606 which is our race pack and has the best numbers. Then we put the next grade into matched stick packs.

We do a large amount of stick packs so our best group will have the top percentage cells. Stormer normally puts a a spec range for our cells.

SlipNSlide: try R/C Madness in Enfield, I was there Saturday and he has SMC packs in the case, both GP's and IB's, take your pick.
