MaxAmps Race Edition Lipos

[reno911]

I don't understand how more people don't question this.

If say a car manufacturer came out with a car that had 1000 horsepower on a 4 cylinder naturally aspirated motor. There would be a shit storm. People would be demanding a dyno graph.

How is this any different?

Heres something for Maxamps. Give me proof and I promise to buy a 2s pack!

Instead of ripping on MA (which is quite easy to do) We as consumers need to DEMAND an INDUSTRY STANDARD for lipo testing, similar to wattage ratings on home stereos. (x watts at x ohms at x thd)

So much time and energy is wasted on bickering and mud throwing, why not use that time and energy to solve the problem?

Never thought I'd hear something that made so much sense from you Harold

Harold you just hit the nail on the head my friend. Why not have someone in here write to CONSUMER REPORTS questioning the battle going on between all of these LiPo complany products and ask them to sort things out for the rest of us. I have always loved the way they do their comparisons and report the facts to the consumers. That would be interesting enough for me. Having an impartial judge to sort them out would work best, right?

I like it. I hadn't considered Consumer Reports. I will write something up, and as long as I'm sending it off I will send it to Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

What should the criteria be? I feel burst ratings aren't as important, and will be harder to measure exactly. So I think the formula should be to measure constant "c" ratings. Something like:

x amp discharge for x seconds without cells dropping below x volts

and of course graphs to back it up.

I'm pretty serious about this. I think we (RCM) should collaborate and decide what the formula should be and start putting it out there. Call it the "RCM standard" Any manufacturer worth their grits would be happy to participate in a standardized test.

So guys: What should the formula be? Lets help mature our beloved hobby.
