I hear you man, I bought my (2) 3s 4200 VX's for $200.
Austin, I, like BrainG and many others here will agree that there are no standards for C ratings. You can preach about your testing methods but here are the shortfalls:
-First, I don't even know of a battery pack that can deliver 60C at WELL OVER 3.2v/cell, I am not even sure the ThunderPower 40C' packs can do that!
-Second, your 4660 surge watts is based on what? That's 3.7v/cell, CAN your packs do 3.7v/cell at 60C? LOL And 60C seems like a very arbitrary number, no?
-Third, no body here (no smart person) would design a setup based on the surge watts, NOT A ONE. You always, ALWAYS make your battery choice based on continuous C rating, although, I admit is sometimes loose/false ratings. SURGE WATTS ARE IRRELEVANT.
My own setup, I don't even go above 25C discharge with a 6s Hyp. G3 35C/65C pack... why? because I want performance, not being able to say I power my rig with 60C+ bursts... and a few runs later have my battery overheat, puff, or even catch on fire in the most extreme case.
In the end, no matter what you say, it will take time for people to get the bad taste out of their mouths like Brian said; I hate to say it, but no one trusts Maxamps anymore. I will take some independent testing to prove otherwise, and also show us that your packs are worth twice as much as the one of the best packs out there.
