Uh oh, did I ruin my SMC Lipo's?

A MT running 4s can pull some juice... I have a feeling you are pushing the SMC packs a bit more than they like. If you are hitting the lvc and not getting the rated mah back into the pack (within 100mah or so) you have a higher amp draw than the lipo cells like. Temps are not really as good of an indication as Mah used... I guess keep using them and see what happens. Keep a log of runtimes, pack temps (not really useful as you have hardcase lipos), other component temps, mah used and balance condition. That will give you some info to go by if you plan to question SMC about their product.
