MaxAmps Race Edition Lipos

[suicideneil]

Meh, clearly a total noob if he had to ask all his 'expert' friends and they suggested maxamps as being the best possible packs- they arent slightly more expensive than budget lipos, they are massively more expensive than top end brands...

Someone tell him to enable the data logging feature and post up some graphs, I cant wait to see him realise how badly those packs perform vs their rated specs...

Just cuz they don't agree with you doesn't make them a newb. I know he's been around a lot in the Baja gas world, maybe he's a e-newb.

But they aren't that much more expensive than say Hyperion, TP, etc. Against the Turnigy, etc. of the world, very much so, but so are Hyp, etc.

Yes, graphs are always interesting of all battery types...

Compared to their performance by those who have had the chance to use them, they are not worth even close to that. Performance wise they are not even equal to other brands of lower specs. If the cost was half of what they are charging maybe.

That much is pretty obvious as he had no real Lipo knowledge.

True though, the MA packs are a similar price to TP or Hyperions, but those lipos perform wayyyyyyyy better than the MA packs could ever hope too, we know this for a fact as we have graphs & discharge logs. If the MA packs performed as well as the other premium brands then I wouldn't be half as critical of them, but they just dont...

Maybe we'll finally get some graphs for this thread!!!

The turnigys's hadn't yet hit the lipo cutoff and when I charged them I put 4500 back in.

The Maxamps hit the LVC and took about 5000mah IIRC.

Ouch.
