Do enjoy his angry letters to battery reviewers and noob posts on certain RC forums.

I guess we could throw Linc in there too, but I don't even think there is a chart for him. The term "Statistical Anomaly" comes to mind.

Don't doubt it.. just wanted to use this new British term I learned watching TopGear the other night. :)

My favorite was the "cock-o-meter", altho pretty much anything Jeremy says is hilarious

Alright, it's been waaaaay too long. Where the hell are theses stinking graphs. We have waited long enough for Brian, or Brad or whatever this "marketing" guy to post something meaningful. Why, Why, Why does maxamps even bother to post on here since they never come through with what they say they are going to do. I may be slow, but eventually I come through.

I think they gave up on us being gullible. Brandon hasnt logged in on here since December 3rd. We will never see the magic graphs so we just need to come to terms with that.

I would settle for some normal graphs at this point. I think we made the first mistake when we asked for the magic graphs... :lol:

They are currently in the testing phase.

Now wait a second. You gotta keep in mind that we're just playing with numbers here.

The last "C" step we took was what? about 120C over anything we used to sell.

That was after we couldn't get enough attention arguing about the Bursts rating.

Hmmmm........problems problems.

How about we just round it off to 300C?

Once Sales start to slump after marketing these, We'll go with 600C!

Just remember, If you can't run with the big dogs, better stay on the porch! :whistle:

I've already posted charts from use in the Baja...

I can take some more next time I run...

Did you see 3.5v per cell at 150c discharge?

Of if you like just post the amp draw you did at 3.5v per cell.

If you post graphs and the answer to my last question we can all go on with our lives, and forget about MA.

Don't mean to cause offense my friend, so let me give a very serious response to my unserious post.

Its important to note that the Cockometer is a highly sensitive multi-variable true tri-beam analyzer whose sealed and quartz-coated high-throughput optics and Dual Diode Detector/Single Monochromator (DDD/SM) is capable of real-time operation, which ensures consistent performance and provides the best possible stability and allows references to be measured and corrected parallel to data collection.

This is not to be confused with previous instruments with a single detection complier which could only analyze for unidimentional cockery, let alone reference compensation and real-time error correction. Thus many false positives and unfair associations with fop-headed dundercocks.

Using the DDD/SM technology of the Cockometer, the instrument can quickly and automatically compensate for other variables, such as price paid, vehicle installed, mod multiplier, and other variables, such as the negative log of baddassness.

While we could go thru the trouble of installing the QuikCock v2.11 remote diagnosis software on your PC (so you could simply hold up the baja upto the webcam of said PC allowing off-site analysis and batch result reporting via email) a simple desk estimation analysis would be easy.

Baja:
MA 150C installed: +9 CU (extra CU penalty for showing it in a national rc mag, altho offset by what I'm sure was a low to negliable purchase price)
Chassis score: -3 CU
Mod multiplier: -5.7 (CC bl conversion scores high in this)
HV score booster: -3 CU
-log (Baddass): -5 CU

Overall score would be -7.7 cockunits. A very respectful score, and not far from perfect baddassery.

For comparison, a more typical setup:

Savage Flux 2350:
MA 150C-Full retail price: +11CU (+13 CU if you bought @ 15% MA frequent customer discount and thought you got a good deal)
Chassis score: +2 CU
Mod Mult.: +3 CU (none to simple rpm bumpers)
HV Score: +3 CU (4S only)
-log (badass): -1.1 CU

Overall: 17.9-19.9 CU. A devastating score and wonton display of pure cockery. If this vehicle was photographed with a $5 monochrome paintjob, submitted to an international RC mag and featured in the Reader Rides section, you will overload and fry the delicate photodiode array of the cockometer and be brandished an outlaw and marauder of all common sense and taste.

Sry for the long post, but some vital information for due consideration.

I farted twice during laughing, while reading finster post.

Hmm, we need to come up with a name for that. Kind of like farting while sneezing is called a Snart (i have done this a few times and it hurts!) Farting and crapping your pants a little bit is called a Shart. So laughing and farting would be called a Lart?

mistercrash 02.19.2011 09:18 PM

So what if you sneeze and fart at the same time but the fart is juicy so basically you pooped your pants so you find it funny and start laughing. What do you call that? :intello:

That would be a Larty Snartblast.

Or a Sharty Lartblast

Or a Farty LartSnart

Or an OMGWTFPSGASMPWLAAS (oh my god what the f*** passed some gas and sh** my pants while laughing after a sneeze)

hemiblas 02.19.2011 10:02 PM

Anyone been to their website? All of their batteries are rated A++ and have 10 stars. Everyone agreed that stepping up from double AA batteries to their batteries was a big improvement except for the one guy that only gave it 4 stars, he thought his double AA's still performed better.

Im pretty sure the bad ratings are quickly removed. there is no way that everyone who buys them does not realize they got the reach-around

You guys are cracking me up with this $h!+. First James chimes in with his sticky fart itinerary, and now Josh with the reach around. I was mearly pissing myself. You know that MA is only showing the positive responses. No way that they would leave any negatives showing on their site. I bet that is a full time job just removing bad reviews, because we all know there are tons of them. Someone should come up with a sort of pop up bomb, only with all bad MA reviews that overwhelms their website.

I almost Larty Snartblasted myself on that one. And with Jerry saying he almost pissed himself, I started thinking what if you sneeze, fart, shit your pants and laugh so hard that you also piss yourself. And how about it ends with a snot bubble coming out of your nose?

This is the common side effect of owning any MA product.

Not the cheapest packs but they will do the job.

You may have said this elsewhere, if so sorry for repeating..

Full disclosure, didn't you get the packs for free or at least heavily discounted? I say that because with the fat MaxAmps logo in the vids I expect they helped out.

E-Revonut 02.20.2011 10:59 PM

And yes, maybe they will get the job done. The same as most other ~30C packs that cost about 1/10 the price will also get the job done. If MA was putting labels on turnigy packs they could put "True 300C" on them, because they prolly perform better than their packs.

The turnigys's hadn't yet hit the lipo cutoff and when I charged them I put 4500 back in.

The Maxamps hit the LVC and took about 5000mah IIRC.

So how about it Arct1k?

I'm sure you kicked in data logging for the Turnigy's too.

Can we have side by side graphs in the same setup?

Turnigy's versus Maxamps.

Ah yes, the inevitable SBFN (snot bubble from nose). And if you happen to be wearing shorts and have eaten mexican or indian food in the last 10hrs you will also be the proud owner of SSS (shart stained socks).

And you will do all of the above as you are running to your truck, flailing your arms like a sissy little girl as you watch hundred of dollars melting due to a overdrawn firey lipo.

Arct1k 02.20.2011 11:17 PM

I've been away at motorama for the weekend with Mike - Whilst the logging is fun once or twice I actually don't do it often and as there is no way to reset the logs from the rx its a PITA.

I'll try to do a BTB compare tomorrow...

These were the charts:

DrKnow65 02.21.2011 12:12 AM

Is this a data log with the *150* C packs?
If so what is the Mah of the packs?
And how low is your cutoff set???

P.s. thanks for posting up a graph

I think the 150c packs are all 6500mah
