No contest, ThunderPower.
Max amps spec are not accurate, TP's are.

With ThunderPower, you pay for your quality cells.
With MaxAmps, you pay for their marketing department.

And as some of you may know, Max Amps recently switched to a "surge rating" on their packs. Seems Castle Creations doesn't think this is the way to go and recently started adding this amedment to their ESCs.
Thunder Power FTW.

Is the Max Amps a hard case? I know the Thunder Power packs are. This is important for safety reasons, as well as many tracks may not allow the use of a soft case pack. Just food for thought.

I had a few max amps batts in the past I did manage to ruin 2 of them but I think it was by user error the remaining three I had worked great but they were soft case...never owned a TP pack but I've heard the best about them. a friend of mine has one and so far it's been excellent in the slash

There is no question in my mind that Thunder Power have the best batteries out there. Plus they have some of the best customer service in the industry. I've dealt with them for cars, and rc helicopters, and will never run another lipo battery other than Thunder Power because of it.

My first and only lipo fire was with a max amps lipo, they did replace it though. Then I sold the replacement.
They have good customer service
