I can not find any info on the discharge ratings of these new packs on their website. I bought a pack from Max Amps and I want to compare what they are. Any help would be appreciated.

They are 72 amps continuous, 144 amp burst/ 10 seconds.

So they are 15C packs, but being able to handle 30C bursts is pretty impressive.

Why are they rated more than the 6000 packs from Max Amps?

Anyway.... would the 6000 mah packs from Max Amps (60 amps continuous discharge) be able to handle a Sphere/Neo One combo in a stadium truck or a B4 buggy with a 6.5 Novak motor? Not much amp info on their web site.

Double post, sorry.

I run the 6.5 and I am going to say that the MA 6000 would handle it fine. I am not claiming to be an expert but I would use it with the 6.5 without much concern but no hotter motor than that.

Neo 1, 2 or 3 star, Novak 6.5,7.5, 5800, or 4300. I personally would not use it with the 4 star or the 5.5 and certainly not the 4.5 :) . I have heard of someone using it with the 5.5 without problems though :confused:

The Orion is rated higher because the cells are 15C ( can handle 15 times thier rated capacity in amps, 4800 mah = 4.8 amps times 15= 72. The Maxamps 6000s are 10C cells ( 6 times 10 = 60), which is why they are so cheap. 10C is fine if there is plenty of capacity to draw from.

I got the info on the Orion off Towerhobbies site by the way.

Thanks a bunch.
