MaxAmps Race Edition Lipos

Really? Who appointed you, us, whatever as guardians of the industry? If you were really that interested in "guardianship" you'd be doing more to test and verify the claims of ALL battery manufacturers/distributors, including the Chinese, Taiwanese, etc. ones too, and not just harping on one.

Frankly most of the LiPo battery manufacturer/distributor, etc. out there don't do anything to back up their claims with solid information and technical specifications that can be verified. It's a free-for-all.

If these packs can only do 75C continuous then advertise them that way. Stop using advertising tactics that try to fool everyone into thinking that their batteries are more than they really are. Great some people are impressed that they now have a pack that can do 75C continuous, and 150C one second bursts. Then advertise them that way. We are trying to watch out for everyone in this hobby, not just our own wallets. If this were a Chinese company you guys would be having a fit and contacting the Department of State over the matter. Claiming a TRUE 150C status on a LiPo pack is shady at best when we all know very well that it will not hold up to that claim. Personally I was glad to hear that they are now offering the 3 year warranty on all of their packs. That was a good move. Whether or not they honor that will have to be seen.

Yes except you forgot one thing. Most of the LiPos being used out there today have been tested over time and all of them have some level of reputation to back them up whether it is performance, durability, specs, of bad claims processing. This one in particular has not done so well over the last two or three years in the eyes of most of the people in here because of puffed cells, none respect where warrenty issues are concerned, and the highest prices in the business. That is what started this discussion in the first place. I am not asking to be appointed for or by anyone for anything. Like everyone else in here I am merely posting my opinions, experience, and concerns about this issue, because people want to know if Brandon is going to breath new life into this company or just keep following the same previous reputation. No need to boil over here. This is a fair and open discussion requesting real world specs on these LiPos. Don't lose respect just because you may not agree with my posts. This is what forums are for.

I'm with Jerry! First I don't think these will do even 75C continous but if thats what they are claiming then that's the way they should be advertised. Not as True 150C
