Oh sure, Linc, say that after you sold me half of your old maxamps packs!

(j/k. I knew their limitations when I bought them and they work fine for my bashing applications, especially for the money I paid .)

Yeah, maxamps used to be really good value, but they increased their prices, and that makes their inflated ratings even worse.

For 10th applications and lower draw setups they work fine. When you start pushing hard they can't keep up.

That is why the flightpower packs are good, you can pick a lipo with 1000mah less capacity and get more out of it, and it weighs less. After trying enerland cell based packs, there is no point buying anything else.

But maxamps has full page ads in the rc mags, and name recognition with the unwashed masses! That means that they will sell their products, even though better products for similar cost do exist. I have no doubt that the price increases are directly related to the amount of advertising they do. Advertising does cost money.

People are like sheep, or pigeons

You buy a new car, park far away, and some dumb a$$ has to park right next to your car, when theres a whole parking lot, and usually door dings your car

Traxxas used max amps, now everyone on the traxxas forums has max amps lipos

Im NOT saying anything about the people here, just around other sites that think max amps are just the best thing ever, and theres NOTHING that could beat what they have

But FP has the whole heli/plane world of rc..... IDK thats why the people here are here, they know whats going on, unlike other places lol

Not to hi jack your thread though Josh
