FWIW - I talked to three people using this charger at an 1/8 scale race this weekend and all said they loved it and have not had any issues. All highly recommended.

I've been looking at the M8D to use for ebuggy racing vs. the icharger 456 Duo I currently have for 1/10 racing. This will help keep my kit smaller for travel and wear/tear on the 456 down as the dirt/dust/outdoor conditions are probably not great for the icharger. Better to use something cheaper for the basic charging required for 1/8 racing.
