Default charger and battery for clod build

I'm building my first clod crawler and need some help with battery and charger suggestions. I don't mind spending a little extra for good quality.

Thanks Frank

This one is also good and used by several of us. Won't do lipos though.

I just got one of those chargers and really like it.
A peak charger works way better than the typical quick charger!
The use of a peak charger really woke up some old packs I had been using with a regular quick charger, the improvement in run times was impressive!

You can also get chargers with a built in battery discharger. I found this item handy as I had some problems with a couple of battery packs and I needed to discharge them

This is the model that I use.
