(they actually have them for less $$ in lower capacity).

I used this battery all last year in our club and was able to finish 3rd overall out of about 10+ racers. If your running the silvercan this battery is probably as good as you'll get out of that motor and the stock ESC (I assume your running the stock esc)?

Chargers, you can pick one up from HobbyKing, -they are cheap and made in China, but they work fine. I used one for a few years until I needed something that could charge higher capacity then switched to a Dynamite brand charger which I absolutely love. --but it wasn't cheap.
Thanks, eR1c! I will take a look.

So I read a lot about fire risk on these Lipo's while charging. Is it really that bad? I mean I read to place it in those fire bags, etc. but honestly I don't think I could sit there for hours just baby sitting batteries charging.
