Title: Club Battery Order, 1s 3.7V
Post by: Blake on September 08, 2010, 07:15:29 PM
Hi all,

If you need/want any new 1s 3.7V batteries for this winter's indoor season, please post here or PM me.  IROCC is looking to put together a club order of batteries.  The price will come in under $65/pack delivered to your hands.

The packs will likely be 5600mAh 60C hard case with 4mm inboard tube connectors.

Deans

As mentioned in the first post, these batteries have 4mm female banana plugs, not Deans connectors.  Of course you can simply solder up an adapter if you really want to use Deans in your car.

I think the bullet connectors make the most sense for the confines of a 12th Scale car but you'll want to arrange your wiring so that you cannot plug your ESC in backward when in a rush.

Hi all,

I've received a couple of questions asking when the batteries might arrive, and when payment will be due.  Our first indoor race will be mid-October, so the batteries will arrive early October.  Payment will be due upon pickup.

October 9th is unavailable because B&G is closed for Thanksgiving.  And October 2nd is a bit early.

Ah, good to know.  In that case we might have to delay to the 23rd.  It will depend on IROCC attendance at the Big Chill.

I will start another thread for information about the upcoming winter season/schedule.  Let's use this thread as it was originally intended.

Thanks,
Blake

Yes Gord, I am quite sure that is what we are getting.  Those specs match exactly what Korgae told me.  It is a great price for a SMC's lastest 1s pack.

Hi all,


Last call for batteries.  I will be calling the order in on Wednesday this week.  Please let me know before Wednesday at NOON if you want in.


*** 2s LiPo deal

If you would like a 2s SMC LiPo, I can add this to our order.

We have been offered the SMC 2S 6000mAh 60C hard-case with 4mm inboard tubes for a really good price.  If you want one of these added to our 1S order, please PM me for the price info.

I'll take two of the single cell packs please Blake.
Having just checked, my previously un-swollen pack has joined my other swollen single cell pack from last year!

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Blake could you please put me down for 1 pack as well.   You can count me in for some carpet action this winter.   I wont be able to pick it up until the first of November though. 


Shawn.

Hi all,

The battery order has been placed.  Korgae expects the packs to arrive in Vancouver before the end of September, so we should have them a few days after that.  And yes, I did order some extras for those that didn't see this thread.

Hi all,

I talked to Korgae on Tuesday.  He told me the batteries are somewhere between China and SMC's USA building.  Everyone in North America is waiting on the order.  Hopefully we should be good for the first official club race on Oct 23rd.
