Neu and MaxAmps aren't MADE in the USA, they are only assembled here. I don't think there are any packs that the cells are actually made here in the US.

I've pretty much ruled out Maxamps. Any suggestions for a better pack than the Neu 5100's that's U.S. made? Trying to stimulate the economy here!!
Buy the polyquest 6000 25c packs from hobby city. That will be your best bet for a 2s pack that will fit that will not have a 2p cell config. You could go with a pair of 3300 4s packs and wire them in parallel... You are not likely to find a USA made lipo product.

Nothing lipo is made in the US, and after taking apart most brands I seriously doubt any are even assembled in the US. I am pretty sure the enerland packs are all assembled at the factory. FP supposedly have better matching techniques. Enerland packs are all put together the same way.

I had figured there wasnt a US cell manufacture - I was more referring to US assembled.

I had been looking at those PQ's too. Pretty good value, it appears.

Yep, I run them in my erevo and they do fine. About the best bet I have found for capacity and discharge without going to a 2p config. Are you a platinum member on HC?

No, I've never actually ordered from them yet.
