So long as there are noobs that go out to buy a magazine to see what's new and hot, there will be noobs buying Maxcraps.

Who reads those rags anymore?

Even if you do, you'll end up looking for info online and will come across these kind of threads eventually.

Hands up from who's watched that video from Jang more than ten times already.

I just find it so enjoyable to watch. Just feels like there is finally some form of retribution for all the poor noobs that have been ripped off by those con artists.

I dont think anyone was surprised about the C rating being wrong, but to lie about the capacity of the pack too??? Thats just going wayyyyyyy to far.

This is what I'm amazed by as well - I mean, anyone can see how much they put back into their lipo on their charger. And customers of MA are happy when they can only put 5000mAh back into their 6500mAh pack? If they have any experience with other brands they should be very unhappy with the overrated capacity of the MA packs. And yet some of them still buy more.

MA are just shameless Honey Badgers.

Swimming in a pool filled with money of course! The thread on rctech is the same old story with ma. People who swear by them will post once raving and flaming the suspicious but never come back with proof. Just my car is the fastest ever type stuff. Jeez. I'm about ready to buy a two cell and disassemble it and test the cells individually to have a few to work with. I'm sure it's a 2s2p setup so I could get some volume to test. Will need an eagle tree and a couple deans bulb dischargers but might be worth the money just to make myself smile and do a real review of some comonly used packs. Dunno maybe we can all start a fund and pitch in like ten bucks and buy a pack for someone to test that has a good eagle tree setup and such?

Hmmm, I could try to parallel discharge one pack for a total of 80A continuous with my two FMA chargers. Or if I could get my broken one replaced, I could discharge at 120A continuous. I would need a pair of car batteries to dump the power into though.

I would dre say that just one of your PowerLab8's would stress that battery quite enough.

Hey guys, didn't Arct1k say that he got similar run times from those MA packs as he got from the Turnigy 4S 4500mAh 30C packs in his Bajas. Or was he talking about performance? I could have sworn he said the same run time as well.

I seem to recall the same thing

sikeston34m · 06.17.2011, 09:50 PM

Yes, it's "True" alright!

Maxamps thinks we can't tell the difference on "C" rating.

They've gotten by with that for soooooooo long, that they think we can't tell the difference on Capacity either!

Shame on you Maxamps for CROOKED Business!

They have even got the mods on RC tech to remove the jang test video and all related topics and posts from the forum. Pretty sad. Not suprised though after meeting Brandon wilcox at rcx. Smacked of arrogance and talked to me like I wouldn't know my ass from a hole in the ground, but I guess the people that are buying there stuff are that way. There were a few people on rct that were defending them but had no data or evidance to prove otherwise. Just the usual my car is the fastest in the world and dumb stuff like that.

He didn't come across that way when he started posting here. I reckon the amount of BS he has had to put up with might've changed his atittude some (not lots).

Now thats pretty sad. Using their clout to drowned out any comparible perspective just because it is not in their best interest. Facts are facts and you can not hide from the truth. It will always find you one way or another. Look I am sure that the Maxamps packs are useful to some degree, but in comparison to the rest of the market their cells are just not holding up very well. And the fact that they are charging more for a lower grade product is just down right dishonest. I wonder if anyone has reported them to the BBB?
