Nice! I did the exact same thing with a typhon 3s on my channel. The smc gave it 2mph more also. Mine were same mah. Not worth double the price though. Smc still an awesome battery the punch is awesome.
SMCs and Zees is all I currently have, the punch of the SMCs are noticeable but really doesn't justify the extra cost for bashing. Would be interesting to have seen some Gens Ace in the mix! 🤙
Just bought some zeee lipos here in Oz. Price is awesome for the slight difference and here a top quality battery will cost a good 150 dollars each. Got two zeee for under 100. Hobby stores here add way to much profit margin on the better? Quality options. Rather spend the difference on parts and forgo the couple extra mph no brainer here mate.
It's not just the extra speed and punch. My experience has been that higher end batteries from SMC and Gens Ace last longer and can take more abuse than the cheaper batteries, including Zees.
You don't happen to have both brands in either 5000mah or 8000mah? It would have been cool to see if milliamps (capacity) made them more equal or stayed the same.😁
Nice comparison video. Those Zee batteries are really good. No much of a difference in performance. 1 or 2 mph difference not going to change anything on the track. Buy speed runs and drag yes.
You should do powerhobby versus SMC same ratings I have two power hobby 9,000 mah 3s 100c inmy Talion and got 10mph over my two other three s's I forgot the name at the moment
For the extra 2 mph gains I think I’ll just save $100 and buy the Zeee lipos
Exactly!
I only run Zeee packs , 2s , 3s , 4s and 6s . No puffing and if you do the warranty they will replace them !
100% agree mate..The average RC driver goes for lipos that are a little cheaper. Different when it's your life and you got a you tube channel.
@@donuttime2507 I wish I thought like that. Also, please return my lighter
Crappy batteries shorten the lifespan of a esc
I've been using Zee for a while. 4S 7200mah 80C batteries in my 8S Kraton. Good power and run time.
What Charger do you use for the zeee batteries?

Thanks for the great content!
Did you do something to the wheelie bar? It looks higher then normally
Very informative video, preciate it!!
Less punch from Zeee, adjust punch setting on esc to compensate?
Wouldn't be possible. Traxxas esc can only reduce power by 50 percent. Both seem slow for a Xmas though.
More pop but wouldn't that be the extra c rating in the SMS bats ?

How many amps are you charging the zees?
You're running everything stock I assume? I'm getting close to 60mph with my x maxx using zees and traxxas.
Just ordered some Zee batteries for my Typhon V3 3s 8000 mah 100c. Hope that’s not to much for it. We will find out.
You'll be fine I'm running 9000 mah 3s Zeee
Thanks for the feedback.
I use Zee 3s 6000mah 80c in Serpent Cobra 811te and it hauls @$$!! I'll get another pair!

Could either of those batteries be charged with a Traxxas charger?
no
Cool video👍
If you ain’t first your last!!!! 😂
or 1st loser 😀😃😄
@@JayTeeRC Ricky Bobby baby!!
If batteries were gas we're talking Ultra, Ultra, Ultra for a little bit faster. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Good choice of vehicle to test batteries.
Higher octane gasoline doesnt give you more power. The number reflects the gasoline's ability to pre ignite on its own.
Oh yeah Jay style you know it. Lol Great job Jay. Examples lipo battery 🔋🚙💨🕹️
Love the content. Your saving $100 and only 2mph difference. That's a lot of 💰

Gotta love the XMaxx doing wheelies!
nice comparison brother 👍👍
Yeah, for regular basher like myself..Zeee are more than adequate batteries.
Especially for 2mph difference?!?...
Nice vid JayTee! How much run time (under normal running conditions, not wide open all the time) do you get with those monstrous SMC packs?
bout 40 plus mins
@@JayTeeRC
Wow, that's impressive! Makes it worth the cost. Plus the added power and a couple more mph is nice too!
@@redbeardrc1452 yes! ppl looking at the price but they 4get these smc last more in charge cycles plus hold up longer
Definitely! My SMC batteries have always treated me well.
the ground surfer is the mini t hands down barley rolls over
I wish they would have been the same c rating and mAh
Do you ever run your cars on Dirt????.......I personally think it's where you get the most fun.......✌🏼🤠
Test the zeee premium 9000
I did about 1 year ago
Nice 👍🏿
👍
50 dollars per mph more. Lol I'll stick with gens ace 💪👍👍
I got 2 years out of my two 2s zee lipos paided 26 soooo pretty good I guess lol
Wow! That is amazing!!
Not worth an xtra 100 for 2 mph
