really depends what you want to spend? Money no object then look at the protek pro20 or pro40 or if your looking to be as cheap as possible look into Computer Server power supplies. HP makes a Server power supply that is 575 watts/47a and its very very simple to mod it to work. Lots of people have gone that route and been more than happy, oh and you can pick them up on Ebay for around $20 SHIPPED.

Skyrc, recently was announced. Should see it in the states, next couple months. The older model sells for 129.00. Its 12-18v at 60 amps. Hobby King sells it as a turnigy ps. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...8V_60amp_.html

The new one is 15-20v at 60 amps, 24 volts at 50 amps.

Thanks for everybodies help on finding a power supply. I think I might have to get 2 different ones just to try them out. Maybe one for home and one for the track.
