I'm going to Bump this for myself.
I'm trying to get back into onroad racing, (last time I competitively ran Onroad, I used Nimhs.)
I just picked up 4 new Tresrey Batteries- (Still in the pkg)

And I am looking to find a good charger for mainly Onroad. Currently looking at VTA/SS and 17.5 TC class (Possibly F1 Later)
I get that Onroad requirements are a bit different and that IR is a key component. I mainly race offroad and currently use Pair of Venom Chargers. They do the job and thu far no complaints. I'm not the type to demand the latest and greatest, but if something is better suited, then I might explore it.

And

Both great chargers and do the job I need. But I feel like my Onroad need something a bit more special.

Meh, nice but not necessary
I just need enlightenment on newer charger and how exactly IR is important, or does it really only apply in MOD Onroad.
