On a Sunday afternoon you want an answer in 4 hours?? A lot of us were out comping, not Internet surfing.

I have never used that brand, I almost always use www.CheapBatteryPacks.com for ANY type of RC battery.

My opinion on max amps is that they are WAY over priced, and WAY over rated, my cheap over rated blue lipos preform better that my max amps batts. and the max amps are rated twice as much as my blue lipos. 25c blue lipo, 50c max amps.

If you want to get the best at a reasonable price go to cheapbatterypacks.com if you want to be CHEAP go to hobbypartz and find something there, start at gens ace, then sky lipo, then blue lipo, ranked best to worst.

And if your rich and want to support max amps advertisement marathons then buy a max amps batts

Life series stuff is not common in Crawlers. We prefer the smaller packs and higher voltage.

Plenty of better deals out there to be had. Maxamps is fine for subpar packs with premium pricing that are guaranteed not to perform anywhere near what they're rated for and will probably suffer from premature failure.

My maxamps have always worked great. No problems, plenty of power, long run time, no heat. still hold the same voltage as the day they were new even after 100-200 cycles. Expensive they are, that is true. They have sales from time to time. I dont know anything about the green ones.

Just hope that your batteries show up because if they do not you will be assed out of your money.

I would agree with Harley, I cant really comment on the green packs as I havent ever dealt with them. I havent ever had an issue with any of my packs. (Outside of stuff that has been flat abused). Abused by being stressed far beyond any of the ratings.

Isn't maxamps a vendor here? I think they are? Doesn't some of the posts in this thread count as a vendor bash?
