The Turnigy charger is easy to use for me, but I have been doing this for many years. I do know the instructions are pretty hard to understand. I tried to read them and got nowhere, so I just played with the charger until I figured it out. It really is easy if you just make sure it is set for lipo charge and do not exceed the recommended charge rates for your battery.
would it be better for me to run two 2s lipos, since im new to this? sounds like if i run 3s lipos i mght fry something, and id rather not do that lol
and 1 more thing. i cant find the parallel connecter. i can only see the series connecter, but i only looked a little any chance of you posting a link?
EDIT: i found the connecter ( Traxxas Wire Harness Parallel Battery Connection VXL ) thats it right?
