I just hate to see a new person make the same mistakes I did, mainly due to bad info.

Yup, and since traxxas used the max amps stuff, its all anyone has, and there crap....

That's why I just ordered 2 neu packs at 25c. Near identical to fp/tp's thanks to you and this site! I could never have done any of this without you guys!

THANKS!

Good choice on the lipos supra, you will not be disappointed.

And you are welcome, glad that I could be of some help. And I am still learning about lipos too. I found that all of the published spec means nothing, and that some real world testing is very important in descision making.

I am sure that the bulk of maxamps packs go into 10th scale applications that do not stress the packs like we do with a heavy mt pushing 40mph. In that role they are fine, but the prices are approaching the enerland cell based packs, which offer better performance.

That would be cool thanks.

Ok, using the stock strap, a 105mm long battery will be the max. If you make another strap, or used an old emaxx strap you could fit a 135-140 mm long pack, as the chassis has enough holes to do this. Yo would not be able to put the esc behid the battery with a longer pack. A velcro strap would also be an option, like the gmaxx straps.
