Wow I guess it wasn't just me. Personally I haven't really had problems with maxamp packs.

I have around $700 worth of batteries from them. And yes I have swelled a few packs but it was my own fault.

My only problem is the pricing seems to keep going up. Yesterday I ordered a couple of cheap zippy packs. Chances are they wont be as nice but hey, can buy a couple of backup packs and still be ahead.

Like someone else mentioned I do like the size of maxamps packs. 45mm wide is alot easier to work with then 50mm like alot of other lipo brands.

On the other hand, I am getting tired of 2P packs. I like the way 1P packs are so easy to keep track of every cell and balance perfect every time. But all the Maxamp packs I like are 2P.

Anyways, time to change brands. Its a shame since I kinda like how MA just went waterproof on all their stuff. Knock on wood and hope zippy hangs in there.
