Go with a flightpower 4900 4s 25c lipo. Those are the same cells that are in the trakpower packs. They should fit the same tray that a 5k maxamps pack fits.

I have about 4 different setups that I used to run maxamps 5k packs in. I had a pair of 2s and 3s packs. I bought a pair of trakpower lipos to replace the pair of 2s 5k packs. I run 7xl feigao motors in a variey of MTs. The 5k packs could not keep up, and just did not have the punch I wanted. After using the trakpower packs there is a night and day difference. If the trakpower are 25c, then the maxamps 5k packs are 15c at best. They just do not hold voltage under load like the trakpower packs.

All flightpower, neuenergy, polyrc and polyquest use enerland cells. I have a polyrc 3700 5s packs that I bought used. It has about 25 cycles on it. It easily out did my maxamps 5s 5k pack (a 2s and 3s in series) in my revo. Longer runtimes, much more punch and top speed. There is no comparision. I have owned almost very pack that maxmps sells, and the 2100 are the only cells I have left.

Considering that maxamps have raised their prices, there is no point to buy them anymore. I cannot stress how much better the enerland cell based packs are. Just buy one and you will see!

I spoke directly with a flightpower rep, and he told me khow they match their cells when they build packs. I can honestly say that no matter how hard I push my packs they do not go out of balance, ever. I had to check my v balancer on a maxamps pack to make sure it was working, as the other packs would not light up any of the single cells when charging thru the balancer, even at 1c.

I currently have these enerland cell based packs:

(1) polyrc 3700 25c 5s
(2) flightpower 2170 25c 3s packs
(1) neuenergy 5000 25c 3s pack
(2) trakpower hard cased 4900 25c 2s packs
(2) poly rc 3600 12c 4s packs (even these packs can outdo the 4k maxamps packs, so they must be good)

I intend to buy a pair of 3700 25c 4s flightpower packs to run in series for my larger HV projects.

Given the current prices there is no pint to buy anything else.
