Insides of a Maxamps Hardcase
 

This was the 40C 4000mah 3S...

It didn't like running in my Slash 4x4 so much...

NO Way Dude!

There's like 2 cells puffed there!

You must have been pulling more than 160 amps continously in your 1/10 scale! :lol:

How old is this pack? How many cycles did you squeeze out of it?

Pack was from about Oct last year IIRC - Its had maybe 10-15 cycles because of winter...

Sucks a lot as local track demands hardcase and these looked nice for 3s...

Sent an email into Maxamps - Will see what I get back...

But the pack is now in a bucket of water for a few days...

It's OK, They are water-proof! LOL

Expect the third degree about your setup. :whistle:

You must have been drawing over 10C on the maxcraps?! :mdr:

Go grab a TP 45C 3s hardcase pack if you can.

It looks like that one cell had a blow out.

Was there smoke?

Talking about product quality. The most I have ever poofed was a single cell in a 4s zippy pack, and it didn't poof to that size. Thats pretty cool actually, sure glad they give their warranties out for free now.

Wait! There's good new! I just visited the website!

There's a light at the end of this tunnel.

They probably won't be able to warranty that pack or anything, BUT........

You can buy a NEW one for $175 dollars plus shipping.

But WAIT!!.............There's more good news!

These NEW packs are 70C!!!!! :whistle:

*Cough- Cough*

Doesn't surprise me to see this, sorry for your $$ loss.
If they send you a new one, sell it and buy something else !

Holy puffing lipos Batman!

I wish I could say I am surprised but.................they're not called maxpuffs for nothing.

This is madness... can someone skilled in the art PC-foo please take down the nitrokillers forum & MA website, and put up a warning NOT to buy their junk lipos? Make sure you post those pictures & your non-demanding setup over there too dude, let the fanboys know what they've got themselves into... :sarcastic:

Is anyone truly surprised at this outcome?

Nice job Chris! What motor were you running?

It was a medusa 50mm 3300 kv in my slash 4x4... Hay ho...

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words....enough said

MaxAmps lipos... they plump when you cook em! :lol:
