Theres a big price bump jumping to 100 watts, more than doubles, but partly because currently there's really only one 100watt player, Dynamite.
If you're going to run lipo and move to higher cell counts or take advantage oif higher C rate charging, you need a powerful DC charger. I just popped for a 1000watt capable charger.
I used to live in Houston. I started RC racing there in 87 and stopped in 95. Live in Atlanta now and getting back into racing. Having to buy all new equipment. It's been slow going buying everything so I'm being cautious and doing research into the right equipment.
