MaxAmps Race Edition Lipos

[Arct1k]

I'm the only one who's actually used them in a baja here. They are fine...

Not the cheapest packs but they will do the job.

You have to admit that the MA packs are overrated. If you hit the lvc and only put 5000mah back in those are not 6500 packs. How out of balance were they? Depending on how long the balanced on the charger you may not even have got 5000mah out of them, as balancing takes mah.

Getting 5000mah out of the turnigys sounds like they are underrated. What c rating are those packs?

So you will say that the turnigys are comparable to the Ma packs, performance wise?

BUT those pretty blue flames on the wrap make you want to buy more. And the chicks will dig your ride because of that great looking set of wraps you have in it even if the guy with the Turnegy (lower rated) packs just kicked your butt, because your LVC kicked in too soon.

You may have said this elsewhere, if so sorry for repeating..

Full disclosure, didn't you get the packs for free or at least heavily discounted? I say that because with the fat MaxAmps logo in the vids I expect they helped out.

The turnigys's hadn't yet hit the lipo cutoff and when I charged them I put 4500 back in.

The Maxamps hit the LVC and took about 5000mah IIRC.

I think we can read Chris' statements just for what they say (as I think he means them to be read w/o having to say too much.)

They do the job. They aren't cheap. 'Bout the same as Turnigies. Says quite a lot imo.


Graphs are a bit different on the discharges.
1st one shows a 3.75v/cell @20C
2nd shows 3.5v @ 27C. Also starts 1V lower

I'm hoping the 2nd set is Turnigies. Both are a long way off from 150C.

1st set looks maybe 40Cish
2nd, 30C seems fair

Edit: Chris's comment below. All graphs are MA.
