Hey Linc. I think you're probably onto something here.

I have ran True RC packs in the E maxx before. All the while hearing everyone say 10C packs aren't all that good. They always performed good for me, but I stayed within the ratings with them.

I've never tried Maxamps packs because of their inflated pricing, but I have and do run 20C packs that are great quality.

If those are the same cells that Maxamps uses, it's no wonder why the disappointment.

It also explains Maxamps being elusive about discharge graphs and performance results. They are too "busy" for that.

When a product is "under-rated", it's users will hopefully consider this in fitting it to the application. Less Abuse = Longer Life = Greater Satisfaction

When a product is "over - rated", it's users will place it in an application expecting it to live up to it's ratings, but it doesn't. Over Current = Puffing = Very Short Life = Disappointment
