MaxAmps Race Edition Lipos

I used to think Max Amps batteries were incredible, and it was very tempting to buy some. I checked out the Savage Flux video they released to showcase its power, but I don't think it even wheelied? Maybe it wheelied, but it had nowhere near the output power of common lipo packs.
I assumed it was a loose slipper and asked on a forum, and found out what people actually thought of em.

It's common in the R/C industry to "fake" numbers to some degree, like nitro motors with HP ratings. I think I heard that the companies use some sort of benchmark for HP that has nothing to do with real world ratings.
Every nitro manufacturer does that though, and while it's ridiculous I understand that they have to do it, or risk telling the truth and try to sell a motor with extremely low ratings compared to a similar motor, and it would sell bad cause the truth about the HP ratings is not a well known fact. - Max Amps seems to take it several steps further by falsifying numbers to make all other lipos look bad, and instead of taking bad reviews into consideration they try to remove them from the most popular places.

Isn't that a crime? A conspiracy, even?

I apologize to Max Amps if their marketing and battery facts are completely true, and the reviews/comparisons have been forged.

Don't apologize. This forum is pretty much the elite of brushless, they know what they are talking about.
