I think its becoming painfully obvious that Maxampa has no intentions of showing anyone that these cells can actually handle anything other than that which is already being done by their competitors, nor do they care which we can tell by the responses on this thread. As expected advertising TRUE 150C race ready batteries is an aborition or myth if you will. I think we have already established that these NEW miracle breakthrough cells are nothing more than 75C LiPo cells that some of the other LiPo suppliers have already been selling on their sites for nearly a year now. Using that specail wrapping with pretty flames, and slapping that 150C on the case was nothing more than a advertising stunt trying to get everyone over to their side, and I am sure that it will work for the average R/C hobbiest who do not know any better or care for that matter.

Think about it. Most of the people in this hobby are just happy go lucky people who are thrilled that someone loves then enough to have bought them an R/C in the first place, and all they want is a good battery pack that can make their new toy rip around the yard/garage, or parking lot well enough to draw the interest of the neighbors. A few of the sponsored R/C racers will use them because they will get them for free, and when everyone else sees them being used. Well we all know that most will jump right onto the band wagon and sales will sore through the roof. We are a very small % of R/C people who actually would like to see some level of specs to show exactly what these cells are capable of. DO you really believe that they care one way or another what we think? So lets stop waiting expecting that something will redeem their tactics and come to realize that Maxamps is still the same company it has always been. Money talks and BS walks. Life goes on. So until Maxamps has LiPos that are directly in line with all of the other battery suppliers (price wise) or we start to hear about good customer service where warranties are concerned I will go with whats cheap and easy to get. I cannot in good faith spend my hard earned $$$$ on products where the company uses unfair, shady, or deceiving advertising practices to lure in unwarry consumers. Thats just my two cents. You do what feels right to you.


SUPERMAXX YOUR LIFE.
