has anyone used true rc lipos?

[jediguru]

Has anyone tried the lipo batts from true rc? The prices are really good but I'm wondering about the quality as compared to something like maxamps.

[squeeforever]

I think there better than Maxamps packs.

[gixxer]

I dont know if I would say they are better then maxamps packs. I would say there ratings seem to me much more realistic though.

I've never heard of a TrueRC pack puffing...Heard of plenty of Maxamps packs though. I think there better in general. Better quality when built, better prices, more accurate ratings, if not underrated, etc.

TrueRC lipos are a great deal. They cost less and I feel, are made better. (thicker shrink wrap, 12awg wiring, realistic ratings.) I've switched to them now after I bought a set used.

TrueRC - 4S 5000mah 12awg = $90
Maxamps - 4S 5000mah 12awg upgrade = $197

That's over a $100 difference!

TrueRC - 5S 5000mah = $110
Maxamps - 5S 5000mah = $243!

I love maxamps and there service but when your on a budget and pennies count. "You gotta do what you gotta do."

I love my true rc 6400s I own 2 3s packs and 2 2s packs. my only complaint is that they dont really fit in the same area as a standard 6 cell pack. caused me to gut my rustler, but it was still worth it.

If you use their 4S2P 4000 pack you will be suprised how small it is.

I love them, unbeatable for their money.

1 4S1P pack does 1400 watts without dropping bellow the 3V per cell (this is with their OLD type of cells, their new cells are even better) so that's a nice 2800 watts of available power on 4S2P.

My TrueRC Packs haven't puffed on me yet, even when running over their ratings.. I'm about 99% sure they use HeCell lipos...

[squeeforever]

They even use the same cells as Maxamps and yet there near half the price...

Well i am looking for new lipos because my current kokam h5 3200 are underrated for my revo :(

I am a little bit afraid of using a 10C Lipo in a revo with about 70A pikes on wet streets. The 5000mAh pack of true rc can handle 110A burst but only 50A permanent current? It sounds strange

[squeeforever]

Go with something using the 4000mah cells.

[jhautz]

If you go true RC for the Revo get the 8000mah packs built with the 4000mah cells. 4s2p They will handle your revo no problem. I have a couple sets of the his older cells for quite a while now and they are still kickin no problem.

Oh yea and Squee... I puffed a set of TreRC packs. I nose planted a landing in my revo and the Gmaxx straps snapped and the lipos went flying out of the truck. One puffed, the other is still runing more than a year later. Any lipo would have puffed with the gouge in the pack that crash left though.

i have nothing bad to say about my true rc batteries, you cant beat the price and they run great.

[squeeforever]

Yea, any pack woulda puffed given that.

He PM'd me and asked me a few questions and he finally decided on the TrueRC 5K packs.

[mabu]

- i gonna get the 5k true rc pack when it's back in stock, so i can use them as 4s2p in the revo and later this year as 8s1p in a emaxx
