So I'm going to pick up my merv later today and I want to get a nice charger and power supply soon so I can start getting into lipo charging for the little sucker! what are you guys using and is it possible for me to have a nice setup like all you pros for under $300 cause thats what I have right now. I'm looking at the Duratrax ICE charger now. what are some pros and cons of it. What is a better one and why? I'm just getting into this and need to learn like you guys did. Also what is this balancing and discharging? ivd heard of it and don't know what it is. Thanx, and soon to come with some help from all of you is: LipoRC4Life!!!! haahaah LOL:hehe:
 
I use a Venom Pro charger and dont plan on changing any time soon.
 
that would be this one?

and that doesn't need a power supply? but it looks good
 
The mini revo definitely doesn't need lipos. It's outta control on 2 quality nimhs. I'd only splurge on a lipo charging setup if you plan on using them in other vehicles as well. I'd get a couple nimh chargers that are capable of charging at around 1 amp or less and a couple duratrax 1600's. You won't be disappointed. Then you'll have some dough to upgrade the driveshafts and suspension arms. And for a wheelie bar! Just my $.02.
 
yea i mean i wanted to get a charger for other trucks cause in the future i plan on like either an e-revo or e-maxx but your right. i should just upgrade it and see what bigger nimh my lhs has so ill see today! thanx dude!
