MaxAmps Voltage Drop Graph

[lutach]

Good point Artur. I think MaxAmps should start getting better cells soon. There are plenty of places now that have awesome cells. If I was MaxAmps, I would just get some CBAs and pound through the cells they might be getting and post some real discharge for what they sell. They are a very well stablished company, especially if they are getting second quality cells at rock bottem prices and making a big profit on them. One example: I think I was the first one to actually use a large mAh pack, I had 2 12000mAh 3S packs and a lot of people thought it was pointless. The price back when I got them was $30 a cell. That was in 2003 http://www.rctech.net/forum/showthread.php?t=26840. Now MaxAmps should get rid of this packs they have with what seems to be low quality cells and get some cells that have proven themselfs.

Why change, you just explained their business philosophy.

I will attempt to make a point here:

I wonder how many maxamps lipos are sold to people doing MT nitro conversions? And how many are sold to people with rustlers and other electric 2wd 10th scale vehicles? While I can tell the difference, the benefit of better cells is not that obvious in the 10th scale 2wd segment. Lower weight and less traction produce less load, even with a powerful setup. I even compared a maxamps 4200 3s to a neuenergy 5000 3s in my crt.5 and did not see much difference. So their batteries are fine for that application, and that may be their main market right now.

Since they have opened the nitrokillers forum, it may be necessary for them to upgrade their cells, or else they will have to recommend the 8000 packs to everyone...
