with maxamps, i have found a semi-reliable way to get the approximate c-ratings of their packs. it is as simple as this:

divide their claimed rating by 4

so, i am willing to bet these are solid 25c packs.

with the 150c batteries, i think the divide by 4 thing isn't quite enough, but i haven't seen them in person more than once.

with my old "30c" maxamps packs, if i don't turn my lvc down to 3.0 from 3.3, they will start hitting lvc as soon as i hit the throttle trigger. they perform like ni-mh packs and get just as hot. the only differences between them and my old ni-mh packs is they cost a bunch more and they like to puff up. they are probably around 5c and can barely hold their own in a duratrax ext2 (very light 1/10) with a very mild ~25mph brushless setup. they still get pretty warm.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
