TrueRC Lipos are the same as Maxamps

[Serum]

@leroy, looking at the measurements they are different in terms of quality (power-wise)

[Nick]

Got 2 TrueRC packs for the price of 1 MaxAmps. Even if they are "similar" they appear to be better value in my opinion.

Just abit puzzled because like Squee said, I can't see Dan lieing, so they must be the same, either an older version or something.

[Serum]

Can't argue about the price! no doubt.

I had contact with Dan too about those cells, and he seems to be a great person.

I would say so...He gave me almost $50 off of a $200 charger...He knows how to keep his customers coming back, thats for sure...

And he is fast in his response to email as well.

They may indeed be different and perform a bit different.... but the reason I think they ARE the same is that Maxamps got a shipment of 4000s that were the wrong dimensions... a mistake from the manufacturer. Guess what the dimensions were? Exactly the same as Truerc's 4000s

This doesn't imply that they must be identical, but it looks like a duck to me...

speaking of these mistake cells... I need to check and see if Austin has any left.... to fix up my packs.

I hvae bought form both Dan and Austin, both are great guys imo.

I know that Glass, they where 50mm wide, but that doesn't explain why these truerc cells give such a (relative) poor measurement.

[squeeforever]

Serum, what do you mean by poor? 80 amps continuous isn't poor...

[glassdoctor]

I didn't know there were graphs that showed them to be different. hmmm

I couldn't find the 80A graph i was hoping for Squee! I liked them too, so i did a little research.. (afterall, i am a cheap Dutchy...)

[squeeforever]

Well, the 80 amps is for the 2P configuration...Forgot to mention that :005:...So 40 amps continuous for a 1P configuration...

[Serum]

LOL

did you see the 40A graphs?

[squeeforever]

Sadly, yes....What cells are those? Max Amps?

now that my kind of discount this might get me into lipos, is the charger ac/dc or just dc?

[Nick]

I got a discount off my eStation 902 aswell. :)

For first time Lipos, I'm sure the performance will still be noticably better than Nimhs, right?
