I do 1/10th scale buggy, mostly with Turnigy 2s 5200mah lipos. I bought an RC8Be 4wd buggy over the winter and plan to do 5000+ mah 4s lipos in that, probably Turnigy but maybe something higher end at some point. I had an Onyx 230 lipo charger which I sold to move up to something more advanced, plus the Onyx wouldn't do 4s.

I'm a basher at this point, but may try racing, but let's just assume that I don't need to charge a battery in 30 minutes between heats or charge 2 batteries at a time. But it's always nice to buy right and not need to upgrade later.

Given those requirements, someone tell me if I'm going the wrong way if I purchase an icharger 208B, actually I was going to get the combo here called "The Ticket".

I also want to make sure I get all the right cables I need for connecting the AC power supply to the charger itself, charge cables, and they sell some kind of pit box to hold the battery and charger safely, is it worth it?

Thanks, again, I didn't want to start another "help me pick a charger" thread, but this stuff is complex!

the charger will come with js-txh charge board. if you use hyperion batts you might want to get the other board as well

800 pages to go through if you want to research them

p.s. better to have enough now then to buy again later in case you say to yourself "i wish i had more oomph in my charger"
