You know... I'm not going to pretend that I know much about Lipos. I know that Lipos are like boobies. The bigger the C rating the better!

I've never owned, nor plan on owning and MA batteries simply because they are just way too expensive. Are they over-rated? Maybe, but I'm too dumb to know for myself. All I know is that I can't afford them. And even if I could, I don't race, so to me the cost isn't justified either.

As far as MA being voted #1 on all the RC Mags.. well, that's true. But I sub to most RC Mag's, and every single electric vehicle is reviewed using MA batteries, both Lipo and otherwise. Is this because MA is their choice? Probl not. It's probably because MA is one of the few who give them all the best free packs they want, in exchange for them publicizing the fact that the testing was done with MA batteries. How's that for good advertising. It's smart too. So, people are more apt to associate the positive review of the blazing fast "whatever" with the name MaxAmps because those were the batteries used. That's pretty much advertising 101 right there.

You give me all the latest greatest Maxamp batteries that I need, and I'll drive around with Maxamps all over my Explorer,my RC's, and put it in every signature I have. OF COURSE the mag's LOOOOVE Maxamps! How can they not? And how can you blame them really? You feed me, and I'll feed you.

In the end, it's for the user to decide for themselves.
