Higher end or mid grade lipo charger for racing?
Guys I am getting over whelmed looking at all the different lipo chargers to buy.
Just getting back into racing and will be running 10th scale mod and 1/8 scale later on.
Do they make a higher end ac dc high voltage charger for racing or do you recommend a charger that relies on a power supply? So many look like copy cats.. I don't want to buy something and then in three months be listing for sale to upgrade again. HELP...

For a power supply these work great http://www.ebay.com/itm/lipo-charger...item27fc7584b2

The 406 is great but there really isn't any need for that much charger. You'll be fine with a much cheaper 206.

+1 on 206
306/406 are overkill for rc racing imo, they're for helis/planes. 206 has enough power to push energy into any 1/8 pack at max possible C rating.

406 = it can charge up tp 6 cells at 40 amps
206 = it can chargw 6 cells at up to 20 amps.
It there is any chance in racing a stock class you'll want the 406

The iCharger 206B is limited to 300 Watts. It would be limited to around 12 Amps on a 6S. 20A on 3S and lower.

406 has another one downside: weight and size.

Wurd! I have been researching for a little while and have not found one better in specs so far. I consider it to be the modern day turbo 30. While some might feel chargers like these are overkill, I can't agree seeing how its plenty expandable.
All my planes and helis are nitro but I'm slowly turning over to superior electrics.
