crazy, there are lots of other good companies out there besides TP and Kokam. In fact, Kokam tends to almost severely overrate their cells (for some cells). I personally like Max amps, and 2 of my packs are from them - one was built by them (but later modified by me), and the other I bought as loose cells. These were their older generation cells, though. Their newer cells are quite good, and will hold up to their ratings (at least the 2100mah does). If you email Maxamps, you can get loose cells for $13.50 for a 2100mah cell, which is a VERY good price for a 15C cell. I am very tempted to buy some, but I may need to buy a new controller soon.
I am familiar with others like Apogee, Maxamps and Cheapbatterypacks.com and others. Those two were the ones that were on the top of my head at the time i wrote that post. I was just meaning that it might be better to leave it to the experts due to the volatile nature of lipo's if mishandled or overheated.


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise
