Yeah they are maxxamps. Why is this, is it because they are 20c and not 25c. the flightpower packs look nice. Are the maxamps 5000s good for there amp rating?

From my experience all of the maxamps packs are overrated. They also drop voltage quite a bit under load. For a 4s setup good bateries are a must. And considering maxamps prices, the trakpower packs are only 10 bucks each more expensive. Plus you can usually find a coupon on tower hobbies to give you 20bucks or so off. So the price difference is really not there.

I'm with you linc... I have had one set of MaxAmps and they were no where near as good as the Enerland based packs. As a Matter of fact I feel like my 10C and 15C TrueRC packs were better than the Max Amps I had. The best thing about MaxAmps is their marketing.

If you want cheap the Zippy 5000mah 20C packs on UnitedHobbies.com are holding up decent for me. As good as the Max Amps and way cheaper. If not go with one of the other packs recomended by others above..

EDIT: With regard to your first question... I wouldnt mix. If one stronger than the other you will over discharge the weaker pack and ruin it. You are better off with a matched set purchased at the same time.

Ok I was looking at the flight power packs and they look really good. They are aalmost the same price as maxamps and they are rated at 125 amps. so 210$ for lipos 450-550 for a hyper 9 another 700$ in a hole
