Im returning to RC after the pas yr or so and because Im riding solo, I NEED to go electric. My only problem is I know nothing about it so can I get some tips? I plan to run the following electric vehicles(me and my bro)

1/8th truggy (prob OFNA Hyper 10TT)
2 Slashes
T4.1 (or whatever is the newest model if not a brushless version of the original)

what batteries should i use for these cars mainly for the main power source? What should I charge it with? I already have a DURATRAX IntelliPeak ICE charger but I can't change settings and it runs off of a car battery and i dont own a car (lol). If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it!

I would HIGHLY recommend the following:

Charger: http://www.hobbypartz.com/thac6smbachw.html
Batteries: http://www.hobbypartz.com/98p-30c-53...-hardcase.html

Really good stuff for the price...

1/8th electrics typically run 4S lipo. The AC6 won't be enough power to prevent the charge from limiting charge current to stay under its power limit and extending charging times. Look at the Thunder AC680 instead if you want an AC/DC charging setup.

The ofna 10tt he's looking at is 1/10

I'd get the 80watt charger anyway. Obviously has more output power but also a higher max charge rate - 6amps vs 5.

thanks guys, i WAS lookin at tht 1/10 but its too small, planning on converting an E Revo

You may be better off looking at a DC powered charger and power supply given your charging needs. A DC powered charger would have more output power and higher max charge rate and would allow some flexibility in charging. A DC powered setup would cost more initially, but you wouldn't outgrow it as soon and avoid having to upgrade charging equip later.

Something like a iCharger 106b would have 10amps and 250watts of charger output power and is $100. There are options on power supplies from a converted PC type supply for next to nothing to a Junsi 350watt supply at ~$70.
