Ok, so it sounds like I really don't need to have my own generator, between Mr. Doug Awesomatix and Mr. Adorable Pup and Burgers. Let's see how my paycheck is looking at the end of this month, maybe I'll bring a spare just in case.

Yep,

A little more spendy but if you use it for more than RC, I like the Caravan 12x12 that is at Costco or on Amazon for $190-$220.

I use mine for almost everything except living in, well when Tina gets pissed I guess I do that sometimes also...

I don't mind paying others to use their power, but that's assuming there is enough for everyone to share. I guess I'll just cross my fingers and hope, otherwise it's time to invest in more Lipos.

Edit: Ok, this sucker looks pretty small and 1500 watts should be waaay more than I need to power my 350 watt power supply: http://www.amazon.com/Champion-Power...dp/B009E26LLC/ Does that look legit to you guys?

hmmmm if all your doing is charging batteries... you could always plug your charger into the 12v socket in your dash..... or use some aligator clips on the battery under your hood.

My battery is actually in the trunk ;-) but either way I don't want to hook up to my full size car, I'm a bit protective of it. I could just get a spare car battery, Tracy gave me the lowdown on that a while back.

One more question I forgot to ask... I've been operating under the assumption that Galaxy is NOT and RC4 track, am I correct? Or is the system now running the RC4 software?

Trying to decide which transponders to wire up.

Yeah, hybrids will work for sure, but I have two RC4s and so I want to know if I should be swapping those out or not.

I could be wrong, but I think they actually ARE a RC4 track. This is a fuzzy memory from last summer though. Don't hold me to it :P
