Hell of a forum you have here! Getting back into the hobby after a 17 year break.

Got myself a new B5M and have the radio and motor/esc already. Just got the batteries and a charger to buy. Taking from searches I have done here and some of my own research, I am going to go with SMC lipos (not sure about shorty or square yet).

I want to keep my charger under the $120 range. I will be racing and swapping 2 packs back and forth. The two im looking at now is the Duratrax Onyx 245 and the Traxxas 6Amp. These seem to be the basic options for my price range that I can see. I like the fact I can charge 2 packs with the Onyx. Any thoughts or other suggestions?

These last charger I used was an old Pro-Tech 702 trickle charger with a 15min dial on it!

Thanks for any input!
