If you look at their site, they sell 2s2p 20C ratings as well. I wasn't sure if you meant that particular size or all around for the rating. :) If you meant all around, most of their batts are 20C

You got some testing under your belt to prove the 20c statement? Not sure if all 20c batterys are created equal. My trakpower 2s 4900 packs outperform my maxamps 5000 2s packs, in top speed, runtime and power. Both are 20c and the maxamps have 100mah on the trakpower. Maybe the trakpower packs are under rated, maybe not.

trakPowers are 25C

If you talk to people at fp/tp the cells are the same in the new packs, they do alot of testing, and the cells would do 25C easy, so they just moved the rating up

So yes, they were under rated..

Good to know, the rep I spoke to did not tell me that. I guess that is why the old and new packs appear to be identical in size and weight.

Still not too sure about the 20c rating of some of maxamps cells, especially the 3000 cells. Those cells only seem to be good for 45-50amps continuous before they heat up excessively or puff!

They de-rated the 10000 cells to a 10c rating from a 15c rating. I can say from experience that the 10000 cells we never 15c, not even on a good day.

Max amps are more 15-17C really.... From all the graphs I have seen, they dont do much better, maybe in a tyco, but with real BL power, they sure dont hold a 20C

I have seen the same results, both graphs and seat of the pants too. I guess that is ok, but the prices are going up, and the value is not.

I just hate to see a new person make the same mistakes I did, mainly due to bad info.

That's why I just ordered 2 neu packs at 25c. Near identical to fp/tp's thanks to you and this site! I could never have done any of this without you guys!

THANKS!
