I'm thinking for a few bucks more you can get a brand name charger with the same specs and better software. Not knocking turnigy we have used their smaller chargers for years, but you can feel a difference in the same batteries charged on an orion or thunder power charger.

John from Revolectrix already confirmed that they OEM'd this.

So literally this is a Powerlab 8.

Hey I know they are the same as far as material but what about software. I haven't looked at the pricing for both brands want to know if there was a difference. Personally I wouldn't buy from HK cause of there service rather spend more to insure support. I know the software is different maybe better who knows

For US buyers, it makes no sense to pickup the Turnigy unit when you can get the FMA labeled Powerlab 8 for roughly the same price after HK shipping. Even better, 99.9% of car guys only need the FMA Powerlab 6. Even cheaper than the Turnigy unit.

I don't understand the need for such a high output. I know with a lot of the newer batteries you can charge at 2-3c but other than saving a few minutes of charge time is there any advantage?

Oh, maybe 1/8 scale?

tc5 man

Is there really any proof that there better when the name brands just slap on a sicker and charge double ?

Jeremy: Yea for 1/8 scale you need at least 100 watts or or better i use a 200 watt Sky Charger.

yes we made the fatboy but the software and control system is different.
