Charger and/or battery recommendations
Hi everyone. Looking get into rc touring racing and need to pick up a lipo battery charger since my old charger was a Tower Hobbies NiMh charger. I will probably pick up these batteries: Turnigy nano-tech 5800mah 2S2P 30~60C Hardcase Lipo Pack, Turnigy nano-tech 5300mah 2S2P 30~60C Hardcase Lipo Pack, and/or Turnigy nano-tech 5300mah 2S2P 50~100C Hardcase Lipo Pack.
I have been looking at AC/DC and DC only chargers for all the different brands from Orion, iCharger, Turnigy, HobbyKing, to Hitec and Duratrax.
After my research, I am leaning towards the Hitec x1 touch AC/DC. I just want to make sure that the charger is good enough for a few years and will not become obsolete soon. I also want a charger that does not take hours to charge. Are there any advantages to picking up the hitec X1-200 Touch instead and a separate power supply (I saw someone selling server PSU as power supplies on another forum for $35 shipped)?
If anyone has any recommendations on chargers and/or batteries, please let me know. Thanks for any tips in advance.
