I'm in the mood for a new charger and I was wondering what the prefered charger is amongst Surge drivers. My previous chargers were an LRP Pulsar 2 and a CE pitbull (not the x3). I've been using a friends Orion Advantage and the results have been decent. If anyone suggests a step charger like the orion what different step profiles do you like? Finally, what features should I look for in a charger to give me that extra competitive edge?

Thanks

I've thought about a turbo 35 but I don't want to have to lug that huge thing around everywhere I go. The APS 3-in-1 actually looks like a charger I might be interested in just because of its numerous features. But... how does it charge?

I'm still leaning toward a step charger because I've herd you can do wonders to your batteries with them. I race mostly stock and some local guys pump up the amperage to like 8-10 amps for the last 200-300 mah and it makes them ballistic at the start of the race.

It charges very well, in fact i usually charge on that, not the turbo.

If only it could discharge, my turbo would be staying at home.

The guidelines for 19T are different between oval and road. If the Reedy and C2 are legal for the Nats, then the Atlas should also be legal.
