Baseline is, you are paying a massive premium for a guarantee that means nothing in the real world.
Even if these Turnigy Lifepo4 cells aren't the same or slightly lower quality than the Maxamps cells, is it worth paying a $140 premium for a 3s2p 4500 pack that MAY last a few more cycles. The answer is no. It is not.

True, and if any other company had Lifepo4 cells that fit the Mini Revo I would have been all over them like a rash.
Noone did.
