    I think you will find most people advising to stay away from MaxAmps only because of the price. You can get much cheaper and equally good, if not better LiPos for a fraction of the cost.

    Are you looking at getting some or do you have a question about some you already own?

    okay gotcha. yeah, i'm basically just looking for some quality batteries for the revo. if maxamps aren't worth the cost, i might aswell look into something cheaper but with the same quality.
    which company would you guys recommend?

    Gens Ace FTW!

    I have four of the Gens Ace 5000mAh 40C 2S LiPos and they are incredible.

    Gens are good cells, again I think most cells are about the same given the same C ratings and Mah numbers. So shop for the best deal.

    Please help. My brother has a brushed slash 2wd, and the remote led is blinking green slowly. Servo responds, but motor won't. Changed remote batteries, changed car battery, still nothing. Anyone have an idea?
