I need a good charger. Something that could charge at many chatge rates and more. Something with a nice LCD screen aswell..

Cheap price but nothing cheap! Get me? lol I know you get what you pat for what I believe there's some good chargers out that are under 170.

Team CheckPaint TC-1030Charger $154.98

Duratrax Onyx240 AC/DC Dual Charger w/LCD $89.99

Duratrax IntelliPeak ICE DC Competiton Charger,Discharger,Cycler

Only one of those chargers you listed that discharges at 30a is the TC 1030. I would think that'd be important for a competition charger you intend for NiMh. It cycles as well - it does everything the Ice does, and adds 2 higher discharge rates, 20a and 30a that Ice doesn't offer. Only thing I've seen mentioned contrary about it is it get hot discharging at 30a....what'd you expect. I use a fan on mine.

1030 is one of the chargers I have and it has many NiMh charge routines besides just linear charging.

I love the icharger line of chargers. Very flexible. I think the 208B is one of the best deals out there:

I have the 106B and love it.
