I am wrong about MaxAmps.

That is some nice wording by Jason! If he reports back with the truth maxamps will be better. I love it!

I love how he back pedals with the fact that the better performance was due to the fact that the truerc pack had more capacity than the maxamps pack.

I wonder what he would say to my findings that a polyrc 3700 25c 5s pack outperformed the 5000 maxamps 5s pack? I am guessing that the 25c rating of the polyrc pack would be why it was better than the 20c maxmaps. So whatever pack has whatever number that is higher would be better. I guess the polyrc pack is longer than the maxamps pack, must be why it is much better?!

All boils down right here:
Maxamps 5000 5s 20c pack = 5ahx20c=100amps cont (according to maxmaps rating)
Poly rc 3700 5s 25c pack - 3.7ahx25c=92.5amps cont

So how did the polyrc pack give the same runtimes, more punch, and also pull a higher gear (changed the revo to a wide ratio gearset)? Must be because the polyrc pack is longer, by about 7mm or so. (I just believe that the poly rc is rated properly and the maxamps is not, but the previous sentence would be the only way that Jason could justify my finidings!)

Maxamps are selling a bunch of 10c batteries, that is all there is to it. Their 8000 packs are the only packs that will work well on 4s in a heavier MT or 1/8 scale vehicle. The 5k packs are not powerful enough, neither are the 2p 3000 cell 6000 packs. The 4000 3s packs are good lightweight packs for 10th scale 2wd, and fit where they need to. For 2 lipo a trakpower pack will fit anywhere a 5k maxamps will and outperform it.
