Excellent performance and a perfect fit for most 1/10-scale vehicles including all short course trucks currently on the market. This pack includes bullet connectors for you racers that allow for clean installation in your vehicles and easy, neat storage. Positive and negative terminals are clearly labeled and colored on the pack. Choose the connector you would like installed on the power leads.

Wow man we all know a higher c rated battery should weigh a little more(from my experience anyway). Seriously the ignorance is astonishing, they need to change their logo to a big FYOU. I have always been a numbers kind of guy and I admit I had a maxamps pack like three years ago but I also quickly learned what a sham their numbers were. Now they seem to not care if their numbers are false. Just relying on the consumer to be ignorant and believe everything they read and are told, which is a sad way to live your life if you ask me. Trust no one unless they give you a reason to. I can see this ending badly for ma. Some noob will get injured by his 200mph velineon powered slash and will do the American thing and sue ma who won't have a leg to stand on as far as proof that there product meets the standards they are advertising.

Whatever they are only 100C. I am not even interested...
The Warnings & Cautions discussed in this manual cant cover all possible conditions/situations. It must be understood that common sense and caution are factors which cant be built into this product.
Apparently adding a hardcase takes a battery from "True 60c" to "True 100c" I'm tempted to buy these two packs, open them up, and compare the cells. Then send them angry E-Mails.
Wait what? You mean ma doesn't have some super secret exclusive factory that supplies only them with cells? Well B. Wilcox said they only buy the best of the best. He must be right, the best at keeping their profit margins ridiculously high like them for thinking people wouldn't notice the trickery.
