You could probably use any inverter that can sustain 40W at 120V (AKA: 120V @ 3A)

Honestly I'd recommend getting something like a Accucel-6 or IMax B6, they can charge directly from 12v and are much more advanced than the traxxas. If you only have one type of battery, you set it once and never mess with it. Both are also about the same price as a halfway decent inverter.

If you are deadset on an inverter, I'd recommend a 75-100w inverter. A 50w inverter may work, but most cheapies will be overrated and melt if run maxed out for an hour or two.

Decent 12v chargers that can handle any cell type and charge up to 5 amps are under $30. Why screw with an inverter to power a turd?
