TrueRC or Zippy packs are the way to go on a budget. Personally though, I won't use anything less than the best in my 1/8's. Enerland (PolyQuest, PolyRC) or Thunder Power packs are all I use. For 1/10, the TrakPower packs are noticeably better than anything else I have tried.
Interesting. I have heard people rave about Enerland cells as well. I use Orion Platinums in my 1/10th and believe they are the same as TrakPower--both use Kokam cells.
The Maxamps are rated at 100 amps continuous and the MMM asks for 75 amps. Overpriced is always a matter of perspective. Not to say that I am not on a budget but do not believe in going cheap either (Zippy etc.). I will give Maxamps a try and if the packs do not deliver I will not buy more.
