Well, the one that puffed appears to be a 3c discharge rated rx pack... Might explain why it puffed.

No, to clarify...
They are labeled 20c packs. The label that you see peeled up is the factory label that was pictured in the first pic. That's what I'm wondering, whether it's normal or not for manufacturers to label over a standard label like that. Besides, even a 3c pack wouldn't puff like that and blow a speed controller just by turning on the switch.

Did he send you a pic of the plug... Wonder if he changed it out before use?

That does look suspicious to me. Why would any manufacturer tape one label over another? It lookslike someone tried to hide the fact that those batteries were only 3C. Not that you tried to fool anyone, but that is pretty shady by any sense of integrity. I would be pretty pissed off if you sold those to me as well. Honestly Iwould never buy any LIpos that looked like that anyway. TURDS??? You kill me with your analogies JayJay. You seem to be a pretty smart guy JayJay, but you have a real Geto way of expressing yourself sometimes. Keep it up though, because you put me in stiches on a daily basis in here, and I am sure that is true for most of the guys on RCM.

Ya, plugs look fine. I'm still anxious to see what Novak says, but with this new development I'll probably just buy them back from him and have Amain take care of it for me.

That's what I thought. These are packs a national caliber crawler guy I know uses or at least he used to. I used them in my B44, and judging by the punch and lack of puffing, I have no doubts they are really 20c. The pack label said 20c 2000 mAh also. The label on the puffed one says it's only 1000 mAh. They charged just fine at 2 amps and took around 1800 mAh each time. If you look at the non-puffed one, you can see the same label cover-up. Why the hell couldn't they print unique labels for each?

What is everyone's problems with the way they look? Normal shrink wrapped saddle packs
