I heard the orion SHO 4200`s are 3800mah.

What happens when you charce at the assumed 1C (4.2A) and the cell goes bang. Is there room for a claim as they have been advertised as 4200`s and should of actually been charged at 3.8A

I stand corrected. You'll need different cells for regionals too.

I am using EnerG cells, and they are amazing. I am abusing these cells big time, I swear anything I had before would have gone limp or bang by now, yet these still equalise well and have so much kick I am running slower BL motors! I love them.

I have had my set of IB 4200's for a long time now i am still able to Get over 5000 mah in them, I first noticed this at my first ever 12th scale national just after they had given a long speech about cells going bang and charging them correctly. I soon took them off charge and left them for a while to cool before racing them. Mind they kept the punch all the way throught the 8 minute racing without dumping. I do keep a close watch on what i am putting into them as if one of them goes bang they can be lethal.

Lee, i think the SHO's actually only have 3700mAh, same as the GP4300 were apparently 4100mAh, the label that said '4300' didnt have 'mAh' after it so it was ok, check on the small print on the cell. Im still going for the Yungtons they look amazing as well
