The same can be said about the more expensive batteries just saying.

I'm not a fan of maxamps preformance. There Great lipo's when new but they fall off VERY quickly compared to other brands in my experiance. I havn't run one in a few years though.

I can say though that in some aspects I am a HUGE fan of Maxamps. They take a lot of the money they make and reinvest it in R/C comunities and events. Last year they sent us 3 of there brand new 2S lipos, a few t-shirts, and some other stuff for a benifit race we had for the local free clinic. They sent us the BEST package of any of our sponsers last year. Traxxas was number 2. Every year we have the race and every year they send us a new slash kit to raffle off for some extra money for the clinic.
