I have a Viper VTX10 that I could potentially use for 12th scale, but it is only 2-3S lipo compatible.
Before going to LiFe I tried the Novak Booster and was very disappointed with it. It only puts out 5V and operated erratically, it's very large and without any flat surfaces is difficult to install on the chassis, but it does have pretty LEDs.
I use a very inexpensive charger that I dedicated to charging my LiFe packs for 1/12 and WGT so I free up my main chargers. The charge time for the LiFe pack varies from 8 to 12 minutes (1/12 scale one has to run for 8 minute heats) and usually takes 110mah (for the 1/12) and 90mah for the WGT running 6 minute heats.
