Yepp, with so many top line charger's out in the market today it's hard to take the risk and buy something soo cheap to look after one of the most important components (batteries) of electric RC.

And some of these "So Called" top line charger's are pretty crappy at doing this job too. What to do ?????

its got the 30$ backlit screen pre-installed... (not a big thing, i see just fine indoors and out), looks like it has a 2nd fan, and a higher discharge rate and capacity for motor run in....

knowing "Tower hobbies" and their plentiful "20$" off coupons, should bring the price tag to about 150 + 8$ s/h, not bad for a 160 unit... Still, with nice coupons, you can pickup an ICE for about 120.

Hmm..... cheaper than a ce, smaller... its worth a shot. Now they need to make a purple one... (much more are you listening?).

now wouldn't it be funny if "Tamiya" came out with a version of this? LOL

Does anyone know if this is out yet? I see its still not at Tower until mid May and haven't seen it appear at stormer yet. Can someone please provide some links to other online shops that distribute checkpoint? I need to get one of these sweet chargers thanks

Is there a release date on this charger yet?

I'm stuck in LiPo limbo waiting to buy a charger...








Anyone?

I'm guessing no one at Checkpoint is watching these forums much.



I have one on back-order at Tower, but it would be nice to know if I need to plan on running NiMh batteries a few weeks longer or prepare to completely transition to LiPos. I don't want to buy another charger in the interim.


TWO MORE WEEKS!
