As per usual, the other reviewer suffered operator error and blames the brand and product, rather than taking responsibility for F'ing things up. This and other RC related websites are subject to allowing those new to the hobby the chance of leaving reviews when they have no idea what they're doing, hence the previous rating on the product page ? NOT impressed. As for the product, here it is... I've been using these smart tech batteries for quite sometime and have been absolutely happy with them. I've yet to get a bad battery out of the box and they've withstood run after run at the track. The Smart Tech is easy to use. Overall, no complaints and a great place to start for new people looking to break into the hobby and experts alike. These are the first of their kind, so kudos to Horizon Hobbies!
If your investing in a scx6 this is the battery you want the soft pack will not fit thanks again amain hobbies for making that situation right these guys are the only shop I order from:) they never hesitate and that is top notch customer service!
G2 Spektrum batterie can be bricked with their own SMART charger with 1 touch of a button. How smart is this? Stupid stupid stupid...wow buy another brand. And DONT try to update your battery with your charger or you will join the spektrum fail army
Reviewers offer mixed views on this 3S 11.1V 5000mAh LiPo pack with IC5 connector. One verified owner reports good experience over repeated track use, out-of-box reliability, and easy operation with the Smart system. Another reports that the pack fits a Traxxas SCX6 well, praising the seller's customer service. A third, rating 1/5, reports that the battery could be bricked by the Smart charger with a single button press, and warns against updating the battery with the charger. One review contains a dispute about another reviewer's operator error that is not relevant to the product. Overall, reviews are few and contradictory on reliability, with a specific charger-related concern raised.
