I know this is not the right place, but this is something that has bothered me, by being brought up in the past, and seems to have been addressed here.

I don't think we've ever had a MaxAmps pack at Castle, so I don't have any opinion one way or the other.
I wish that was a company policy, as this

The best LiPo packs on the market right now that we've tested thoroughly are the NeuEnergy 5000 30C, FlightPower Eon 5000 30C, Thunder Power 5000 40C, Thunder Power 5200 50C, Thunder Power 5300 65C, and MaxAmps 5250 and 6500 packs.
is straight from this http://www.castlecreations.com/suppo...a_monster.html , and has been quoted to me in the past.

Perhaps we could get a little edit :)

OK, I don't think we've ever had a MaxAmps pack in ENGINEERING at Castle.

I think those recommendations come from our Tech Support guys, based on their testing with the ERevo.

I can confirm from my experience that is the case, apparently there are quite a number of them kicking around the facility, or so I'm told

I need to ask the good people here a quick off topic question. Just really fast and not trying to deviate from the issue. As a shop owner I don't take personal check or MO. When purchasing from anyone I alsways pay via CC. If you were dealing with a company that, even after you pay via CC, offers a substantial discount for MO, continues to insist on MO, would you not be suspicious? One more request for a MO and I'm gonna cancel my order.

I appreciate the responses.

As a general rule, yes I would be suspicious.

If the margins are low and the goal is to realize as much profit as possible I can understand the reasoning for a MO. If the discount isn't more then ~2% then they are trying to shave a little extra out, if it isn't large volume the CC processing will most likely be a bit higher then that.

Back on topic: Found a phone today and placed order for the combo, can't wait to get my hands on it :)

This isn't Castle is it? I don't think we have any policy regarding MO vrs CC.

No, I doubt any reputable RC company would act like that. Nubrain.com, they sell a variety of supplements. Worst customer service ever. I'd never yell at or try to intimidate a customer!

+ a additional question but does the XL combo already come with some kind of connector for the batteries? if so wich kind of connector?
If not, wich kind of connector do you recommend to use or is this not so relevant?

Thx already
