MA opinions

[E-Revonut]

I have 4 MA packs, all 6000mah 2S packs. I have run them in an E-MAXX and E-REVO with the stock titans and with an 8xl, vxl rustler, and a CRT.5 w/4800kv medusa. I have no complaints with the packs. I have paid about $100/ pack after connectors and shipping and I haven't found any packs that come close to that price for that capacity. Over rated? Possibly! My packs do get a bit warm 120*ish after a hard session of speed runs. I bought the 6000mah packs though for their capacity and rating. I keep my peak currents below there continuous rating so I feel I should be ok.

Of course this is all my opinion and 2c so take it how you wish

knowing what we all know now , i would only recomend the 6k, and 8k packs, if one had to buy from ma, other then those they are not a good choice for 1/8 scale



as a side note.........i made my neu 4s pack into 2 x 2s packs because i got a erevo on the way........
the battery leads where 12 awg copper , im sure it has to be better then most other leads, i am very pleased with the neu lipos

The TRC 6400mAh packs hold voltage better and only cost $88/each with a standard 1 year warranty. Throw in a little shipping and you're right there. The MA 6000mAh packs are $109 before shipping as a standard price now, so you got a deal for them.

The 5k and 6k packs are the ones I've had the most trouble with. I have 4 2s 6k packs from MaxAmps that are dropping voltage like a bad habit. I've had to reconfigure them a couple of times now as the cells individually die out. I also have two 3s 5k packs that have each puffed a cell and are now working only mildly well as 2s 5k packs.

All six of those MA packs had problems within the first 20 cycles and the highest amp draw vehicle they were in was a mild Feigao 9XL system in a Revo.

With that said, one of my biggest concerns remains the price for the "ratings" they're given. The 20C MA 8k packs have been good so far in my Revo, but not quite as good as the much much lower priced 15C TRC 8k packs. It makes me feel bad that new hobbyists are spending so much money on what many consider to be over-rated packs.

They say that they're using better cells now, so hopefully that proves to be the case.
