Ways to protect MMM when used with subpar batts

[lincpimp]

Ok, read the rest of this thread.

I have a unique perspective of the various lipo brands. I have taken apart and rebuilt almost all of the brands that are sold. I can say that the lower priced lipos from HC are not assembled very well, and this causes a fair amount of their issues.

Same thing with maxamps, and most of the losi hardcase lipos. The best that I have seen are the enerland cells that all of the high end packs used to use. The tabs were twice as wide and at least 3 times thicker. Much better made tabs than anything else save for the elite cells from cheapbatterypacks.

Also, did not was to seem down on the traxxas noobs, but alot of them seem to like maxamps marketing so they are not very well versed on the lipo stuff. But everyone has to learn somehow... And experience is the best teacher.

I will not buy turnigy/zippy packs myself. I can usually find lightly used high end packs from the plane guys for similar prices so I go with that. Maybe for a boat or something that could get destroyed?
