Post Ideal charging settings for NiMH Rx packs

Hey guys - sorry if this isn't the exact right forum section to post this but I'm raicng tomorrow and charging now. This section, as we all know, gets 10x the looks the radio section does.

So I'm using the Duratrax Onyx 230 to charge my NiMH Rx packs. I have the OFNA 1700, the Stickman 2500 and the Reedy 1600.

Right now I've got it set at a .3A charge, 6.0V rate nominal voltage (per the battery), and peak sens. setting at 3mV/C, no timeout, 0mA trickle.

Right now I've got plenty of time to charge and I'm trying to maximize battery charge, output time and battery life. Would you guys recommend different settings? If so, what?

Racing tomorrow! TIA.
