I've had Duratrax speedcontrols, car stands, trucks(Mini-Quake), and two chargers(Intellipeak Pro and now ICE) and I have yet to find this mystery product.

They probably aquired this lable because their products appeal to the newer people in the hobby who arn't experienced enough to realize the correct way to drive and maintain their equiptment. Some people would come and complain that their cars break, when it was merely their fault. The only specific product that gets a lot of complaints are the power supplies used for some of their chargers; they tend to fry easily.

The only negative I can see to the Ice is that it has no back light. Don't know if this helps James but I had to mention it.

Team Orion Advantage Carbon edition simply the one used by pro racers and backyard bashers, and Lipo with 10 amps as well !

Muchmore Cell Master has my vote too. It's very easy to use and the chager itself doesn't heat up. The cooling fan inside is very powerful and keeps the charger cooled at all times. It charges all types of batteries. Ni-Cd, Ni-Mh and Li-Po.

Go for the GFX if you can afford it, always upgradable to what is new. It does most of what you want and more, the only thing missing from what other chargers have is step charging (I think the fad has passed) and a motor dyno. If you can't afford to spend the money go with the ICE. I have not heard anything bad with these other than the low discharge rate.
