Default Re: Radio control

So i was asking my kid if he wanted me to get him lipo batteries for his rc cars. He said no. He has watched too many youtubes of people with mega $ 200+kmh rc cars smash and compromise batteries and burst into flames. Kinda silly as his gear, as is mine, is not that extreme.
So i asked would he like a better charger? He said what one. So his existing charger for his 7 cell 8.4v nimhs isnt a fast charger, its not a slow charger, its an eventually charger. So i ordered him the same does everything charger i have (well the 2nd one, the 1st crapped out after 13 years so i reckon theyre good) an imax 6bac. So considering its a 6A max output, will do nicads, nihms, up to 6s lipo and lead acids, for under $40 i reckon they're a good thing. Before my original one died, and probably part of the reason it did, it had on multiple occasions been left overnight charging 730cca deep cycle marine batteries.
