I agree with a lot of what mike says but at the heart of the issue is that people who are making an assumption about a particular battery without seeing any real discharge data or long term performance data based what appears to be on the cost of the battery. ie low cost HAS to be an inferior product. sometimes it is and sometimes its not.
id like to see a discharge curve on a 3S 30C FLIGHTMAX VS a neu vs one of mikes batteries( i just ordered one myself). To this point i have pushed my brushless erevo and emaxx very hard with tall gearing with 6S 20-30C zippy lipos and have had no issues.
i have not had any failures with the neus, i have had failures with older Maxamps but not their new 35c packs. I think these are very very good packs but at the wrong price point.

This whole discussion is just ridiculous from what I see. I haven't read this whole thread, just pieces of it (as it rather long now), but it really just smacks of CC trying to find something to blame for the early failures of their MMM units. Zippy's being low cost are pretty popular out there and they saw a few failures on the Zippys and bingo. An easy scape goat.

I run many different kinds of packs including zippy 20-30c, zippy flightmax 30c, Neuenergy 30C and 25C, Enerland PQ 25c and 30C, etc... AND I have had many MMM die on me. I prefer not to state the number of replacement that CC has sent me. (Its actually pretty ridiculous.) But now I finally have 3 units that have proven to be reilable. Nothing else has changed in the setups, just the MMM units and these 3 are now lasting. It just ook going through a ton of MMM units that weren't up to snuff to finally find 3 that were.

To be fair, I only had one MMM fail violently. and it wasnt when I was running the zippy packs. The rest were all quiet deaths or small poofs of smoke and dead.

I seriously think this thread is blown WAY out of proportion. And dont get me wrong. I think CC is a great company and makes some really good stuff. But the early MMM units were not a good example of CC's best work.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...


Silent...But Deadly
