I had great success with my Maxamps packs that I have had. They worked very well. Only reason I went to another lipo at the time was no ROAR legal hardcased option.

I now run enerland based packs and TrueRC lipos, and I am very happy with them as well.

I like Austin from the times I talked with him, and I had a good opinion of Jason from the time I met him personally till this:

Pretty lame in my opinion. Yet another reason for me not to do business with maxamps anymore. Austin better be careful or this guy could really damage his business.

While IMO Maxamps packs are not the premium packs they are now trying to sell them as, and they are certainly not worth the money they charge for them, I have to agree with what a few have said already. Austins biggest problem is that nut job that runs around the forums calling anyone that doesnt agree with him names. Totally ruined my opinion of the company. If you dont have anything contructive to say just don't say anything.

...and with that I'll shut up.

Wow has anyone else seen these yet?

Maybe it's just me but I think it really takes some big huevos to throw a piece of plastic and 6oz's of lead on your normal 20c 5k pack and then charge an additional $41 for it. And it's not even roar approved...

why would anyone pay for a heavier pack with frickin lead in it?

for minimum weight requirements... but id much rather buy the strips that fit in the subC holes in chassis that way its as low as physically possible.. and not roar approved yet... DUMB

Wow imagine one of those packs catching fire. I gotta believe burning lipo is toxic enough by itself.

This would be evacuate-the-block toxic, heck why not use mercury....

not to mention that it would melt and pool and create a really big mess... i didnt think of this before!

I prefer the hard wired to those packs, The 4mm plugs look like the castle 4mm banana plugs used on the mambamax. I got rid of those because of the connection problems

ok i will be honest, i have only been doing conversions for about 8 months, i have bought afew packs from maxamps as well as true rc and apogee ( how ever you spell it)

the only packs i have ever had fail were apogee

when buying my latest pack i looked around before calling auston at MA to have a 5s 35c 4200ss pack made for my new revo conversion. after talking with him for awile i got the pack made with 10 gauge wire for $220. my next packs will be zippy's

i though it was a good deal

If it can really hold 35C, then it is a good deal. Do some EagleTree testing on it for us and let us know if they've really found a "super-cell".

Thanks!

I have no idea why but I was immediately struck with the image of Wile E. Coyote placing an order with the Acme Novelty Company for some Sooooper Cells...

long day and lack of sleep are likely contributors but n/e/ways

i should have some logs as soon as i get me eagle tree v3

Guys the weighted packs are for racing... especially offroad. Everyone running lipo packs is adding lead to the car to make up for the weight that is lost by tossing the nickel packs. It's about setup and handling, and to some degree it's to meet min legal weight.

If you think it's stupid, you don't understand the application.

The reason it's good to have the pack pre-weighted is that you don't have to add anything, lead under or on top of the pack, etc.... like you do with any other lipo.

Seems quite a stretch to use their "leaded" option as another thing to bash them with. I think it's $10 for the lead??? At any rate, you don't pay for it unless you want it.
