well then... here is the deal yes maxampsare awesome batteries however there is no diffrence in the 6000mah 3s 100c maxamps my buddy has and my 7200mah 70c spc racing lipos yes you have to use traxxas or dean's or be able to solder them. my spc batteries are just as good as his maxamps. and for what he paid I can have 4 spc and run all day while you charge your expensive batteries I will be out woopin on my car. I've ran both several times in my xmaxx and my kraton. if your hard core racer then I would say Maxx amps but if your just playing and having fun then go cheaper read reviews ask questions. I have several different batteries from several manufacturers for different cars. I use cheap reaction lipos in my halix and slash, duratrax onyx in my Nero, spc smc in Maxx and kraton and typhoon, a couple leftover traxxas batteries, a lectron, I'm sure some others. they are different "c" ratings and mahs for different rigs. they all work some are better or nicer or have flames on them... flames and big $$$$$ does not make them better sometimes just more expensive to replace. if your not racing then just buy decent lipos and a gooder charger. Balance charge, storage charge..... ect ect ect...
Josh,
For sure. Everything works different for everybody. Just my experience having used a decent number of batteries in different types of rigs, air, surface, even submarines! That being said, I compare it to a salad! The better ingredients you use, The better the final result. I don't have a lot of free time, and if a battery runs a bit stronger, a bit longer (based on what ive seen) its worth spending the extra bucks on. The construction, materials, its just a nicer finished product. Also, their customer service is incredible. They will take care of you. However - your points are well taken. I'm Just speaking on my personal experiences on doing speed runs with my typhon; I've noticed the difference with the true (120c) punch this battery gives me. Bottom line, its more money - but it was assembled specifically for this vehicle in terms of dimensions and power.
