I don't get people saying that MaxAmps are expensive. Go price an Orion and compare that price to MaxAmps. The Orion 3800 is $136! ON EBAY!

Rediculous!

I have a MaxAmps 7.4v 6000mAh soft pack that I've run for well over a year. In my Slash I get over an HOUR of run time. It's as strong as the day I bought it.

I also have a MaxAmps 7.4v 4200SS 30C hard pack. Been running it for three months now. I run two heats and a Main twice a week, plus random practice days. No problems whatsoever. Did the price go up $22 after I bought it? Yes. So what?

Ultimately, people are going to bitch about what they're going to bitch about. If I've learned anything about online forums, it's that 50% of the people don't know shit about what they're posting about, 10% SWEAR that their buddy had one blow up, 10% flat-out lie just so they can have somebody talk to them, which leaves 20%. Those are the people who will tell you what they have, how long they have had it, and what their experience has been.

That being said: I challenge you to find one person who has had a problem with a MaxAmps product, that didn't get it resolved immediately by the company.

As for the cost: you get what you pay for.
