Power Supply needed
#1
Im getting a Hitech X4 Charger but im unsure of a power supply. I need a 30 Amp PS, as the PS can do 6A per port at once so i wanna make sure i can do that if needed. it doesnt need to be RC specific but would be nice to order from one place. im not looking to spend an arm and leg would like to stay about 100$ but im also not one to skimp out if i need to spend more. Any recommendations ?
Would this one work?

You don't "need" a 30A PS.
That charger is only 50W per channel, total max output of 200W. Throw in a 40% safety factor, and you need at least a 280W PS.
If you can afford the PS you linked, it certainly will serve you well, just trying to point out that the way you went about figuring out what you "need" was flawed, so you can make better purchasing decisions.
