MaxAmps Race Edition Lipos

Im glad you didnt take that personally, but you have to keep your objective cap on your head when viewing seemingly impressive vids like that- little bit of research shows/showed it to be far from impressive..

Thank you,
I certainly appreciate you looking out for me :)

PS. The amount of knowledge and technical ability of many of the RCMonster forum members is absolutely awesome- and it's always great to see the technical formulas- and mathematical brilliance that so often sheds light onto any given subject. It's great to express opinions with passionate emotion- but to me- nothing is more powerful than raw data and like many brilliant minds here on this thread have said- the numbers are hard to argue with. That said- it would also be great if someone was able to compare these MaxAmps LiPo's to any other- or many other model LiPo's from different companies.

Note:
I realize it upsets people to see "True 150amp"(which represents a 1 second burst- ability) on the front of this model LiPo but the main thing that I would like to see is- How do these LiPo's compare to the other high end batteries in the RC Industry- ie Hyperion- Thunder Power- Turnigy(I'm beginning to consider Turnigy a high end- low cost battery)- and any other LiPo anyone would like to throw in the mix. It's the comparative data that really is the valuable information(I see no reason MaxAmps cannot perform these comparative test). Until the RC Industry has a standard by which all LiPo's must be measured- there's no basis for rules to play by- or at least seeming so.

Might want to take a look at the BigSquidRC 4S Shootout for a graph of the Turnigy's...

Costs. No one will believe them. An independent body would be the best way to do it. But again it goes back to cost.

This was an excellent review to read- Thank you for metioning it :)
I primarily run one- 3cell LiPo in my 1/8th scale buggy- Can you recommend a review of different 3cell LiPo's? I'll Look into the same site to see if I find anything BigSquidRC may have done- insofar as testing different 3cell LiPo Batteries and comparing the different related data.

PS. I wonder why MaxAmps didn't participate in this shootout? After all, MaxAmps makes a LiPo which is a hard case 4cell- which qualifies the MaxAmps batteries for this shootout.

I'll write BigSquid and ask them why they didn't include MaxAmps in the shootout. If anyone already knows- please feel free to mention your insight into this matter.
