Oh my god I need some. RIGHT NOW! Chocolate + Milk + Glass Bottle = sendmesomenowplz

Also, adding on to what JERRY2KONE said, I think we should shrink wrap everything in flames and resell it at 100-500% profit. That new sofa you wanted? FLAMING SHRINKWRAP SOFA! Only $2999! Will go faster than all other sofas on the market that we've tested! Who's with me on this?

Hey Guys,

Here is a video of our LiPo batteries starting 700+ cubic inch dragster engines.

Not really relavent to the use of the batteries in r/c hobby. Promotional stunt at best.

Seriously..... It doesn't take much to rotate those low compression engines

Actually since neither of those engines are boosted in any way, I would bet good money they are both 14:1 compression or more

*rednek* ohhh... impressive.... it started a big car engine... must be much moar better than other leeeepos *end rednek*



the only thing this proves is that you need 3-4-5 packs to do ANYTHING with...

Nitrous in large quantities = low RC ..

Only NA engines need high RC...

That is sort of true, but not really. Nitrous Pro-Mod engines are almost all in the 14:1 range, with VERY few of them being as low as 12.3:1

Nice copy and paste!

Don't buy the info about racing engines that you find laying around.

I bet my head than several of those engines are close to 10:1... You make more power with lower Rc, since you can spray a lot more and use generous timing ...

Brandon-
Are these racers using the 6500mah cells? Also- how many cells, and batteries are they using? for example, are they using Three- Four Cell Batteries all wired in series, Or?

Do you know the final Amps and Volts these batteries are providing to start these awesome engines? Great Video by the way. Truly awesome power :) I'll be very interested to know how many years these MaxAmps batteries are able to start these Drag Race Engines- As Well. I realize- only time will tell.

PS. Initially I had thought these guys(Drag Racers) were only doing this as a test to see if your batteries would start the motors. I didn't realize that these Drag Racers are using your chemistry batteries as a permanent starter battery, rather than using other chemistry batteries. I imagine these LiPo batteries also weigh much less than a quite heavy lead accid or ordinary battery which Drag Racers would otherwise be using to start their engines.

Note:
I understand and appreciate all the people that are angry at MaxAmps for past experiences that you had with MaxAmps that were very negative and you feel were never resolved to your satisfaction. I'm very interested in the stories of anyone that would like to talk about your exact and specific experience with MaxAmps. For example- How your lipo battery failed, What max amps said in response to your request for customer service. Did you have any warranty at that time(for example, the free 3year warranty is a new offering, in the past- one had to pay extra for this and many did not buy the 3year warranty). If you did or did not have this extra warranty- what was your understanding of what your warranty was and or should have been(if any)? And what did max amps do about honoring this warranty. Who was your contact person at MaxAmps ie Jason? And what exactly was said between you and your customer service representative? What was the final result? Did you feel the customer sevice you recieve was unprofessional and or rude? and if so, how did you respond to this- yourself? Did you report MaxAmps to the better business bureau, if not- why?

Did you ever use max amps again? if so, why?

Note: If This Post would be better suited for a new thread, Than by all means let me know and I'll start a new thread specifically for everyone interested- to talk about their MaxAmps Experiences- Both Positive and Negative- in the greatest possible detail- from beginning to end- Including why you initially chose MaxAmps in the first place. And also feel free to include what your best battery experiences have been in the RC industry and how this is better than your experiences with MaxAmps. Thank you for your interest.

Note: We do not need to limit this subject to MaxAmps- we can include all batteries that are considered popular or high end or at least expensive. Keep in mind that this thread has been viewed well over nine thousand times. Most of the viewers are people looking to learn and are doing research to help them decide which battery they will buy to race with or even to bash their rc with. Either way, it would be nice to help those seeking knowledge and insight- in their journey to learn- simply by stating our experiences in the greatest possible detail. Clearly and concisely- and simply. Thank you for reading :)

I am actually really surprised that, that hasn't already happened.

Hopefully someone will be able to fully test one of these packs and let us know what the "TRUE C RATING" is.

I believe for the most part that has pretty much been done. 75C continuous(10 seconds) and 150C burst(1 second) at best. Which pretty much tells us that the TURE rating of these race ready LiPos is 75C. Not bad in comparison to some of the others out there, but that 150C rating is nothing more than a marketing stunt.
