I am wrong about MaxAmps.

Those 30/50C packs are rated 30/60 from the factory too. Even more derating. I am cool with that, because the pack will perform to the numbers that they show.

But do you see what cheapbatterypacks did? It is really cool that they show an ideal C rate mainly because they did the homework and I'm pretty sure they know from experiance that the packs will perform at the ideal C rate. My packs for example comes with a 25C from the factory. They provide that and the burst, but would I feel good saying they are 25C. I'm still beating the crap out of them and I have posted real world data on them.

Well guys, we all know what I think about maxamps products...

I sat for a while tonight and though about alot of things and decided to make my first thread over at NK a positive one. I did not go into the problems I had with the packs, and the somewhat vauge customer service that I experienced. I chalk up half of my pack failures to my learning curve, and the other half to factory quality control issues. Keeping my "experiences" in mind, I decided to try to solve this issue by attempting to push education and realization, sort of looking at the big picture.

I still firmly believe that there are other lipos out there that can outperform maxmaps proucts at the same price. That is all I care about when I buy a lipo. My opinion there has not changed.

However it is important that Maxamps continues to make a postive improvement on thier products, as so many people rely on them! They are a big company that has a large segment of the land rc lipo market. They have a responsibility to improve electric rc!

They already kicked/Banned someone we know and Labeled him as a "Trouble maker".

This is strange, because in our motor winding discussions, I found this person to be one of the most intelligent and helpful people that I encountered on the subject.

Thanks for the Link, Linc. I will be following along with this to see how it "evolves".

I already see back peddling, arguing with ratings off misread material, and getting out the dictionary to see exactly what the definition of "Continous" really is.

I would LOVE to see an unbiased 3rd party conduct discharge testing of various Brands.

I believe everyone would be very surprised. Quality isn't always indicated by Retail Price or Marketing Hype.

I agree 100% with you James! I much rather buy other brand lipos, but a ton of people go into the BL world with the VXL cars, and most of them bought max amps packs to go along... So its getting more people into the BL side of the hobby which is good

I would say that the maxamps packs would be just fine in the vxl trucks. The are not heavy enough to really strain the packs, especially the 8000 mah model!
