hmm how important is it to balance your lipo's as your charge... Also do you charge from say the main deans clip (assuming you use deans) or the balancing port? the ice is outta the question... im not spending 130bucks on a charger to only have to get a 12v dc source also (although a 40 dollar computer powersupply would be perfect... still to much tho) |

gah lookin around a good lipo charger is expensive, i was looking for a decent lipo charger and balancer for under 100 bucks. BTW do these look like good LIPO bats... 4400MAH 25c for 50 bucks, sounds a lil to good to be true. http://cgi.ebay.com/7-4V-25C-4400mAh...742.m153.l1262 |

My 2 main chargers are the Triton2 and my old-reliable Orbit Microloader. Both do lipo and nicd/nimh.

For crawling a cheap/budget pack is fine. Can get away with a tiny pack compared to average speed vehicles. For a nice cheap charger use the polycharge and if you want a balancer then use the equinox. http://www.electrifly.com/charger.html |
