I just switched to lipo. They arnt even here yet. I bought (2) 1500mah 3s 20c lipos for $22 and a iMAX B6 charger for $38 from ecpower.com.hk it was like $61 shipped for the charger and 2 batteries.

EDIT: There is a member on here using the lipos from ec power and he said theyre good, check my "ebay lipo" thread, lots of good reviews on "cheap" lipos.

I have an accucel 6 which looks similar and probably uses the same board/software as alot of the china chargers. Mine has been working fine since I bought it.

The B6 is a great charger. Guys have been using them here for ages and I've never heard of a problem with them. I would get one myself, only that my Swallow Advance is still doing me proud.

I got mine like 3 days ago, badass charger! Lots of different settings, and does a great job. The lipos i bought (listed above) are also badass! Well worth the money!

EDIT: I have about 4 cycles through each battery, not much yet, but im getting 40min+ run time from my comp crawler with loads of power all the way through.
