Testing samples is always a good idea before placing a large order. Even if they have a so called MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity), they are almost always willing to submit samples to make the sale.
Quality is always a question. It's very lacking with some companies and better with others.
Testing is fairly easy to do in the short term, but it's hard to test longevity.
The Lifepo4 Chemistry in itself, is impressive.
I like the 5ah cells. 10mm thick though? I wonder if a 3S pack would fit the E Revo? That would be pushing it.

The research I do is mostly for my clients. It's funny, because a lot of them are in Asia, but they want me to source the parts they need. That's how I find most of the companies I know of. If English is a barrier, I just type something to my client and they translate it for me
. I like to test before I order and if things are not right, I just let it go fast. Quality is mainly up to the end customer, but if there's a new material in the works, most of the time it will fail a few times before that matures. I think a 3S can fit the E-Revo, it'll be a little over 30mm thick after the pack is assembled, but the length could be way over 150mm. Keep in mind other capacities can be made, those were just old pictures one of the manufacturers sent me.
Do you think the MA boys are watching now? They're not very active lately.
