Personally using Eagle CDC V 6.0B.
Its great but would be better if the discharge is increase to 30 amps.
Only thing the Eagle/Integy charger doesnt do is run in your motor.
This is where the money you save up, you could purchase a Motor Manager. Orion, Yokomo and Team Much More have some of the best Motor Manager around.
So do some research and spend your money wisely and you will be a smiling man on the track.
Oh yea, if you wanna know, i will be purchasing my 2nd Eagle CDC v 6.0B soon. And not forgetting the motor manager by Team Much More.

aDRIAN, don't understand something.... if you're using the CDC v. 6.0B and it would be better if the discharge was increased to 30 amps, and doesn't run in your motor, why would you get another and why would you recommend it over the Turbo 35

It can never take over Turbo35. Its everyones dream to own it.
I just recommended CDC cos of the price you will be paying. Its worth the money cos it aint that expensive. So with the money your saving, you can still get another motor manager.
Lets calculate the cost.
2 x CDC v6.0B + Motor Manager is still cheaper then buying one unit of Turbo. And you still can charge two packs at one time.
But if you can afford getting a Turbo, of cos go for it. IMHO, i would prefer to spent the rest of the cash on other stuff. Well, thats only me.

DAMN MAN this thing has so much stuff; I might have to e-mail you for some help on how to set this sucker up I know you're running a couple of them and Steve W. says you're the expert .

But I think you got the wrong person.
I don think Steve W meant me. Maybe another Adrian
Its only personal preference why i would recommend a CDC. Cos i am able to save up some money and get some other equipments. But i still have some space on my pit especially for a Turbo though.

Adrian,
Not a dream I share, I've ran Pro Trak for 8 years now, my dream is to run two of them. T35 is too limited for me.

JayBee: most CE stuff only has a 90 day warr.
So, more than likely it would be out of warr. when you got it.
But, CE has great service like many others do......(if you need it)
Any of the chargers above will do the job.
Get the one that has the features YOU need.

I should have said most people then.
The Pro Trak charger is also a very good charger.

20amp discharge workd for me cause I use a Rayspeed tray to equalize my packs.

Look at the Triton from TowerHobbies (link) it is very good charger. It charges, beside all the standards, the new light and powerful LiPoly cells. Even though I have both CE Turbo35 and LRP Pulsar Competition I'm thinking of buying Triton to use at races. It's extremely compact and full of features.

Hmmm. The discharge current is limited to only 3 amps. And as far as I can see, you cant disable the trickle charge for NiMh batteries....

In my opinion the GFX is the best charger out there, but they are too expensive and bulky. See how nice and neat my stuff fits in my electronins case

3300 @ 6 amps, takes 40-45 minutes (if equalized)
