MaxAmps Race Edition Lipos

[Bondonutz]

Yes the motor is awesome but the pictures of boxes crack me up too, reminds me of Noobs on TRX taking mass pictures of their bone stock Tmaxx right out of the box. At least he happy tho

From Saterdays bash the Maxamps 6500mah packs seemed to run about the same as the 4500mah Turnigys.

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.

Sounds typical of what we expected for the most part. For the money pretty poor performance in my opinion.

Yea those guys probably suggested he get the MA packs so they can see how they work out in his setup, so they don't have to invest that kind of $$$ themselves to find out that they are not worth it. Get the kid to come in here and share his results with us once he gets everything setup and has a chance to use them. Then after we get to see how badly his graphs are we can encourage him to follow up demanding his money back for false advertising and poor performance.

So how about it Arct1k?

I'm sure you kicked in data logging for the Turnigy's too.

Can we have side by side graphs in the same setup?

Turnigy's versus Maxamps.

WOW, it was like dejavu reading that thread, reminded me a whole lot of a certain member on here, and 10 other forums......im sure you know who im talking about.
That fasteddy guy is just proof that a high post count does not always mean you know what you are talking about!

I'm the only one who's actually used them in a baja here. They are fine...

Not the cheapest packs but they will do the job.

You have to admit that the MA packs are overrated. If you hit the lvc and only put 5000mah back in those are not 6500 packs. How out of balance were they? Depending on how long the balanced on the charger you may not even have got 5000mah out of them, as balancing takes mah.

Getting 5000mah out of the turnigys sounds like they are underrated. What c rating are those packs?

So you will say that the turnigys are comparable to the Ma packs, performance wise?

[JERRY2KONE]

BUT those pretty blue flames on the wrap make you want to buy more. And the chicks will dig your ride because of that great looking set of wraps you have in it even if the guy with the Turnegy (lower rated) packs just kicked your butt, because your LVC kicked in too soon.

You may have said this elsewhere, if so sorry for repeating..

Full disclosure, didn't you get the packs for free or at least heavily discounted? I say that because with the fat MaxAmps logo in the vids I expect they helped out.

I think we can read Chris' statements just for what they say (as I think he means them to be read w/o having to say too much.)

They do the job. They aren't cheap. 'Bout the same as Turnigies. Says quite a lot imo.


Graphs are a bit different on the discharges.
1st one shows a 3.75v/cell @20C
2nd shows 3.5v @ 27C. Also starts 1V lower

I'm hoping the 2nd set is Turnigies. Both are a long way off from 150C.

1st set looks maybe 40Cish
2nd, 30C seems fair

Edit: Chris's comment below. All graphs are MA.
>_<

I'm just curious how you can say this,

From Saterdays bash the Maxamps 6500mah packs seemed to run about the same as the 4500mah Turnigys.

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

Then

They are fine...

IMO a 6500mah battery, rated at more amps, performing about the same as 4500mah battery, would not be fine, if I paid the listed price on both of them, I'd have to say I'd be pissed off. .

IMO the lvc for any MA pack should be set at 4.19v to prevent puffing...

I just didn't know which one to use! That was awesome, maybe even 4.2

Glad you liked that, I am sure some will miss the humor and just see it as MA bashing...

To be honest I am sick of hearing about MA. Seems as much data and experince we pour out, people want to believe the hype and buy these packs... And then you get the "internet experts" who have only ever had 1 MA pack who they preach that MA are the best lipo... No experience, no idea. Just alot of BS. We need a smiley with a BS flag like the lol one. That way we can all just reply with that whenever the 300c super extra gangsta poop rated packs arrive, next week.
