I am adding my .02 to the discussion over on the nitrokillers forum. I wonder if it will stay posted.

So to clear the air Austin is sending the guyour 8000 packs to compare with the True RC packs. Now hopefully he will report back with the truth and if so you will see our packs on top.

Since your 6000 pack is actually rated for a higher discharge rate I see it as a fair comparison from one capacity to another. Comparing your pack to the 8000 pack is actually unfair to TrueRC imo, as it is not rated for the amp draw that yours is. Since your 6000 pack has a higher burst rating it should actually have a higher voltage under load as compared to the trueRC pack. It is quite possible that he just got a bunch of bad packs though, so there are certainly other variables to consider.
Just so we can get more data, do you have any discharge graphs of your packs being used in cars? The only one I can find on your site is a 5000 pack in a heli under 6.6c max usage. I assume you have graphs of the trueRC cells being used too since you already know which is better?
Since the poster is getting an 8000 pack to compare we will be able to get a better comparison in your eyes. You have made it clear that the truth is that your packs are better, so if that is not his finding is he lying? I find it hard to believe that a pack that is thinner and lighter can have the same capacity with
better discharge performance without large increases in price. It is like saying that I can buy a 4500mah sub-C that is the same weight as a 3800, it just isn't possible. Of course without more information and discharge graphs I cannot make fully valid conclusions.
