When the MMM comes out, I want to get a 5S pack for my XB8EC and would like to have some data to justify a purchase of the Neu packs over the MaxAmps.

No prob, I should have some tests done next week. I can safely say that ypu wil have better results with the neuenergy pack. I replaced my maxamps 5s 5000 20c pack with a polyec 5s 3700 25c pack and it gives better punch and the same runtimes. The poly rc and neu are made with enerland cells, which are viewed by most to be the best available. Even with this info I will still do these tests, just for some hard data!

Looking on Neu's site I have thinking of getting either the 30C - 3300mAh cells (99A constant) or the 25C - 3900mAh cells (97.5A constant).

Mike had made a custom battery tray for me with the exact dimensions to fit the MaxAmps 5000mAh packs for my XB8EC - both of these cells would fit the tray perfectly.

I've found my average max current draw to be ~78A. So if the votlage drop of either pack was less than that of the MaxAmps packs would be a great advantage - the 5S packs with either cell is only aout 25grams heavier than the MaxAmps 4S packs.

For your setup the 25c 3900 5s pack looks good, it has enough cont rating and will have longer runtimes than the 3300 30c pack. Plus I read that the 30c cells were not as good as the 25c cells. Not sure if it was all of the 30c cells though...

I am sure that you will see that the Neu will hold voltage better than the maxamps pack.
