Austin had sent me a 25C 8k pack and it was significantly better than the previous "20C" packs. Who knows about the rest of them? I don't see myself putting any money into their lipos anytime soon, but I am hopeful that the new packs are as good as advertised for those who do purchase them.
Here is some info from the actual PM's:
"It is a different source that the new cells are coming from, yes. We actually will be upgrading all the cells to 30C over the next month or so. The 3000s will become 3250 30C cells(with no increase to price by the way). They will be followed by the 5000 cells, then the 4000 cells.
We tested them at 30 and 35C. They get about 2500mah at 35C constant and almost 3000mah at 30C constant with good temps. They are a winner. Its the best 3000 cell we have ever tested by far.
Lets see... at 35C it would last a little over a minute the way I figure it. I am thinking that there will not be many guys running it at even 30C constant for the 2 minute run time.
Bottom line is that voltage under load will be very high and it should not hit cut off under a short high amp load.
-Austin" Love them or hate them, it's always nice to see improvement. |
Nice that they will not increase the price... I wonder why?

As I said I bought those packs because they are the same size as a standard 6 celler, and admittedly knew next to nothing about lipos when I got them last March. I've learned TONS since then and much of that info has come from you and other members here. I do have two EVO25's that work great, but they are also $120 a pop, I am eyeing the new Hyperion Sprint 4000 packs which are half the price, I will probably buy 4 of those so I can have 3 pairs. I do have someone in mind with a Slash who I can unload the good MA pack on, and I think this bad pack will be going out in a blaze of non-glory.... charge it-short it-shoot it lol I may even get video..... Thanks much for the info.
I will refer any repairs in the future to you linc. I just hope people will avoid MA altogether and not have the buyers remorse- it really stings....

Dude, don't shoot it! I can make you a pack, or I will give you something for it if you send it to me. If you do shoot it you may as well shoot a tree. Nothing will happen. Over charging will make a bunch of smoke, thats it.
Not as fun as you may think.
