⚡ SMC 1400 mAh & 1600 mAh LiPos — First Impressions ⚡

Just finished some first flights with two new SMC packs —
1400 mAh (209.5 g) and 1600 mAh (236.7 g). Both feel well-built, solid leads, and overall nice finish.

Setup: 1950 KV 2207 motors, Gemfan Sbang props.
Flights done on two rigs — DJI Nano with the 1600 mAh, and Caddx Peanut with the 1400 mAh.
-🪫 1600 mAh pack: around 6 minutes of solid freestyle — good dives, clean exits, and strong punch power. (AOS 5 v2)
-⚡ 1400 mAh pack: about 5 minutes, slightly lighter feel in the air, great response and agility. (Toilet tank on Pirat Hook v2)

Power delivery is impressive — these packs really hit hard. The C-rating feels genuine, giving instant pull and consistent throttle even under heavy load.

The only minus: once voltage hits about 3.5 V per cell, it starts to drop faster — not dangerously, but you can feel it’s time to plan your landing. Still, you’ve got 15–20 seconds of controlled flight left, and interestingly, after resting it recovers nicely (landed at 16 V, later showed 20.5 V at home). So, the sag seems mostly under load, not real capacity loss.

💬 Overall — very powerful and consistent packs.
I’d still reach for Dogcom Super Light when weight really matters, but these SMCs absolutely deliver in punch and reliability.

More tests are coming — I’ll keep ripping them further to see how they hold up after a few cycles. 🔥

Purchased them on for own money 💴
