This is the one i'm getting: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/17987
Yeah, the 6000 maxamps packs are just a 2p pack made out of the 3000ccells which are good for 40-45amps max, so the 6000 pack may do 80-90 amps... on a good day.

Really difficult to understand the difference, until you try similar packs on the same setup. My first enerland cell pack was a polyrc 3700 5s pack. I bought it used for 75 bucks. I gave it a try in my tekno converted revo. 2000kv 1512 sized aveox motor, and a quark 80b esc. Truck still has the 2 speed and mech brakes, so it is realively easy on the electronics. I used to run a maxamps 5000 5s pack. So I gave the polyy rc pack a try. Big difference, more puch and power, and it seemsed to give the same runtimes, plus it just seemed to hold higher voltage longer than the maxamps.

The polyrc pack is a 25 c pack, but only speced for 92amps cont. The maxamps is similar with a 100amp rating.

My main issue with maxamps is the cell quality is all over the place. I had a bad cell in all of my packs, and some were even delivered to me with the bad cell...

I have a bunch of enerland cell based packs now and none have let me down so far. I have some truerc packs too, and even after letting the cells get down to 2v they still took a charge and didi not seem to lose any capacity. Try that with a maxamps pack... or try to find a pack from maxamps competitively priced with true rc...
