I am sure the high-revving, lower geared neu is not hurting your success with the maxamps packs. You may also have a better matched assortment of maxamps cells. My 5s packs would go way out of balance, had to limit my runtimes so that the packs would balance out during a charge. I got so sick of 3-4hr charges with tons of balancing. Glad you are having success with them though!

On a side note it once took me 37hrs of .5 amps charging to get a brand new maxamps 10k 3s pack into balance. If I charged it anymore than that the balancer would interrrupt the charge. Factory matched cells my ass!!!
