Will MaxAmps make good on their warranty?

maxamps will make good on the warranty but will only replace like for like and I'm sure will only replace the one pack. Which I guess is not what you were hoping to hear.

I'm presume you are looking at 6s 5000 - I'm not sure if they are the same cells but I've not had much luck with the 5000's. They seem to get hot and stressed running 3s on a pede. I'm not sure how they will take the revo in a 6s config.

We all know how much "success" I have had with maxamps... I will say one thing in their favour, after having about 20 maxamps packs I became very proficient at lipo soldering and assembly...

Their customer service is ok, and I am sure they will replace the questionable pack. Good luck with them replacing the ok pack. If it has the 300 cycle warranty, you may want to "ensure" that you send them back 2 bad packs...

As Arct1k said, the 5000 cells do not perform well, maybe 15c at best. Not sure if they are any better than the 6000 packs, as I only used those as lower drain 10th scale packs. I did use the 3000 cells (6000 packs are 2p made out of 3000 cells) and they were very poor. Not even 15c cells IMO...

Good Luck! Go with the neu packs, you will definately see the power difference.

That is most likely right. A while ago I had a 4s2p pack of 2100mah cells from Maxamps (saddle pack), and one of the parallel groups puffed up. Maxamps did warranty it, but despite me asking to get a complete replacement, they only replaced the two bad cells... It is very stupid to mix new cells with older/used cells. They say not to mix old/new alkaline batteries, and these are Lipos we're dealing with!
