muggy update new....

[Gooberseptember]

Well i just got to run my muggy with the proline dish rims and badland tires. Wow is all i can say. What a difference. The motor hardly got warm and the MMM worked flawlessly.


Now for the part that makes me want to kill someone

I had a nice slow run and all of a suddon the muggy lost power.(7- 10 min into the run) I thought the lipo was just dead. WELL IT IS!!!

The f'n maxamp battery puffed. I have lost over $400 work of maxamps lipos in 2 weeks.(4 total) I just sent them a f'n email. I am so pissed off right now. That was only the 3rd or 4th run on this lipo. I have lost all faith in them.

I dont want a bash fest on them, i am just venting before i kill someone.

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

That sucks....


1 word. Enerland.


(or if you want cheap but decent try the Zippys)

[lincpimp]

Try true rc, use the 8000 packs.

Enerland are the best, and not much more expensive than the maxamps...

We all know how I feel about maxamps.

I 3rd lincs quote... I also would reccomend T-RC's packs.

[BL_RV0]

I fourth Linc's quote.
(40 posts later, "I 44th Linc's quote!")

i think zippys and truercs are compariable in price and performance but you can get a higher c rating with the zippys so i would prefer zippys

of you can pick up some elite lipos at www.cheapbatterypacks.com they only offer up to 4800mah (only a slight difference in runtime with a 5000mah pack) but they are pretty cheap and at 25c i believe they are a steal....i've got two of teh 5s 4800 lipo in my muggy and they work far better than any maxamps pack i got.....and i 5th linc's quote as well.....

Must here alot more negative comments than postive with maxamps

[kulangflow]

Have we figured out yet if the Zippy ratings are accurate? I sure like the price/specs.

Not so much that maxamps cells are crap, they seem to work fine if you consider them 12-15c cells. I only have issues with the company due to false advertising and the "holier than thou" attitude of some of their employees. And their prices are way too high...

Well i just got off the phone with Maxamps and let me tell you that their customer service is awsome. 90% of my packs are maxamps and i have never had a problem til now.

This is what i came up with.
My reciver pack was my fault. (due to no lipo cutoff)
my 18t pack has a ton (i mean a ton) of cycles

My Mlst 2 pack was a bad cell. (they are replacing)
My muggy pack was also a bad pack.(they are replacing)

All in all i was so pissed off yesterday i wanted to blame everyone but me.(just ask my wife how much of an azz i was)

So my faith have been restored once again.
