I charged it but keeps getting an error even after charging that one cell to 4.17 like the rest of the cells. I called them and they said send it back. It sits for about a month and then was ship back. They said everything was up to specs. They also said if it sits more than a week it tends o go out of balance. So I played along with it but then it's going out more than .5 volts and I sent it back and then they split it into 3S 2X. So it's not a assembly error, I am done with them like last year as I have own a Neu, Polyrc( very good ), Flightpower. None of them go out balance like MINAMPS in every time it sits or used. I guess my Hydra240 did get fried due to voltage ripples as my MINAMPS are not up to the task of supplying voltage to my 1527 1D motor on 6S in my extended Lst2.

What a story. At the same time, what a lame ass way of taking care of customers.

Sits more than a week, it tends to go out of balance? Self-Discharge? Or how about cut to the chase and say "Bad Cell".

8400mah at 25C should carry a whopping 210 amps continous. More than enough for your application.

The fact of the matter is, this is only true if the mah specs and C ratings are true. If the C ratings were anywhere close, this pack would have no problem handling your truck.

8400mah 15C cells would still be 126 amps continous, which would probably still handle your truck ok. What does that tell you?

Alot of things can be hidden behind a fancy label, down deep, behind the hype of advertising.

With the advancement of Brushless Technology and the fact that packs are being pushed harder than ever, the Era is here that will flush out the false claims and the false advertising.

The "They will never know the difference" Era is gone.

Unfortunately not for everyone. The noob market still doesn't know the difference, and with all of maxamps' ads, the typical noob wants lipos without shopping around and discovering better/cheaper brands and just buys maxamps.
