ALso the Imax just lets you put all those settings on, charge rate, balance, fast charge storage etc etc and you start it.

I think the charger does the balancing and discharge everytime.......I don't run RC cars for long or hard either, i'm more of a casual person with RC cars, i run short burst in a straight, throw a few corners and really i'm done.. if i bash a RC car it'll probably be the Bandit
