Why change, you just explained their business philosophy.

I will attempt to make a point here:

I wonder how many maxamps lipos are sold to people doing MT nitro conversions? And how many are sold to people with rustlers and other electric 2wd 10th scale vehicles? While I can tell the difference, the benefit of better cells is not that obvious in the 10th scale 2wd segment. Lower weight and less traction produce less load, even with a powerful setup. I even compared a maxamps 4200 3s to a neuenergy 5000 3s in my crt.5 and did not see much difference. So their batteries are fine for that application, and that may be their main market right now.

Since they have opened the nitrokillers forum, it may be necessary for them to upgrade their cells, or else they will have to recommend the 8000 packs to everyone...
