Turbo, you're joking right. If you dont have the common sense to check for shorts on your gear and want to rely on a battery not to catch flames and save your gear, you already lost. If one doesnt check polarity with any type of cells, they are already LOST. Like I said, Maxamps for the money is just as good. Hard casing is a definite plus, but how come none of you have yet to comment on my DIRECT IMPACT CRASHES AND NO BOOMS? Why havent any of you said anything about zack's nose end crashes? For all of the folks that are running MaxAmps packs, why havent I heard of ONE going up in flames? Bashers, more than racers use them and they abuse those packs more than any side swipe or head on to the boards you can get in on road racing, so why havent any of them listed r/c inferno threads yet??????
