And if you gear up too much to compensate, the current will go up, which might exceed the pack's capacity. It says 30C (135A), but I'd like to see some ET graphs before I believe that.

Brian,

What do you think MA will do when more people find those packs? I was going to buy some to make it 1P (2,250mAh) for my applications, but like you, I want to see some graphs on them as well.

I don't know about you guys, but I smell a bunch of BS coming from MA about how their cell chemistry is superior, pack construction, "factory fresh, made to order" as if they were a sandwich...

Question is, could they really be going through so many packs that the cells they use don't actually sit on a shelf? How many of you have actually seen the "Factory"? I know Castle Creations makes their own ESC and we've seen pictures of the factory. When MA had a somewhat decent price, yes I bought 2 packs, but almost paid the real price.
