zeropointbug,

1. We explain in exact detail our method for determining these ratings. You can test the packs the exact same way that we do and you will find the same results.

2. The surge watt rating is simply a number to help people determine the correct pack to choose based on their motor and speed control. Surge watts are not only relevant, but it is the way that the motors are rated and the only correct way to determine what battery to choose without having a watt meter hooked to the motor.

3. No smart person would determine what battery to use based on C rating since the C rating is just a number that the factory picks. It does not mean anything.

Of all the lipo manufacturers out there, I believe that MaxAmps has the least to "prove". There are many independent third parties that I have listed in the previous thread, thousands of happy customers over the last 5+ years, and the readers choice award in RC Car Action and RC Driver.

You may not realize it, but the reality is that more people trust MaxAmps than any other manufacturer. Your statement is just completely wrong. Your personal opinion is not what "everyone" thinks.

We realize that it will take time for people to understand the new method of rating packs but I believe that over time you will see other manufacturers using this same method. It is much more simple and easy to understand.

I posted here to help explain the new method of testing our packs. Thats all. I am sorry that for some reason you personally feel like we are not "trustworthy" and I take that very personally. I have worked hard to build this business on a rock solid foundation of integrity. If you have had a bad experience with us in the past I would love an opportunity to earn your business in the future. Feel free to give me a call personally to see how we can earn your business.

Best Regards,

Austin Else
