PITBULL vs INDI908,512 vs ICE vs CHECKPOINT
#3
Of those chargers I have the ICE. I like it. I don't think the extras that the checkpoint has are worth the extra $$. I think all the listed chargers should be more than capable of charging your batts, and any batts you may have in the future. Also, did you consider the Pulsar 3? I hear that's a good charger too.

I just don't like indy chargers, I had one. I sold it and got a Comp Electronics Turbo 35 GFX. Awesome charger, expensive tho. I don't think anyone makes a better one. I know I love mine.

The indy was not polished... What I mean is sometimes after charging one battery the mAh counter would not reset and while you were charging the other one you'd glance over at it and it would be at some ridiculous number like 6850 and you're charging 3800's. Plus it was not so reliable. I had times where it would not charge a battery after just discharging another battery. I had to unplug it and replug it in several times before it would clear the error and charge the battery. Between qualifiers there's no time for that crap. Plus it had two cooling fans which were extremely noisey. I'm sure they were necessary but I didn't like it. The dyno feature was cheesy compared to like say the APS charger's dyno feature. The indy holds your motor with a rubber bushing. Only it doesn't do a good job so you have to hold it steady. Again while racing you don't have time for that crap you need to be truing a tire, cutting a com or rebuilding a shock or whatever anything but holding on to the motor. Hope this helps.

I work at a hobby shop. Every Indy charger we've sold came back as defective.

140 is a great price provided its in good shape... Send it in to CE to get the lipo mod and firmware update ($50). I'm sure the ice and checkpoint chargers are nice... But they aren't the machine that a Turbo 35 GFX. Just my opinion
