Well, there have been failures on other packs as well - most recently on a set of Mikes packs. Whether or not these failures had anything to do with the batteries, I'm not qualified to answer. (or if having a different set would have prevented the failure).

hopefully your not talking about my mistake of hooking up mikes 5s 2500mAh packs in series instead of parallel, that is obviously not the monsters fault when it failed.

And on a side note the packs performance is off the charts!!! Thanks Mike!

ill sum it up for you, i was showing my friend the power of brushless and mistakenly grabbed my series connector that i normally use for my 2s batts instead of my parallel one....truck ran fin for a minute or two, and surprisingly i didnt even no there was a problem until the truck just stopped....just a really stupid mistake.

Could you tell power wise that you'd hooked up 10S? Or did the MMM limit the power enough that it wasn't noticable?
