I'm selling one of my victors so that I can get something that charges Li Po cells. It has to do 1-3 cells. Cost isn't a major issue but it has to be equivalent to the price of a Triton or less. Triton's are a charger that I'm looking at but I want some more options. It would be nice if it did regular reciever packs, tx packs and a real 1/10h scale battery as well but not neccessary. That means it has to charge c cell's at 5 amp minimum, preferably at 6 amp.

And if you have links to them as well, that would be great.

Thanks.

After reading the review on rctech.net, it's definatley on the top of list. I want to see what else is around but the two disadvantages of the Ice are more than made up by my other Victor.

Check out the MRC Super Brain 969. It can do LiPo cells. I have one and find it very versatile. It can charge 2 packs at one time! The 969 also can charge sub-c cell packs, NiMH or NICd. I think it's about $100

I have a 959 and I am very dis-satisfied with it. I want a competition level charger that has enough features to do what I want. A friend of mine has the 969 and we've tried charging my batteries at 5 amps, for my XXXT and XXXS. The run times just don't last as long. Good enough for bashing around and not really caring but I do care about the run time when I race.

My top three right no are the Triton, the Ice, and one from Apogee. I'll have to find out which one it is again.

Check out the Astro flight lipo charger(I think it's the 109). From what I hear, the Superbrain is NOT to be used with lipo's. If you are using it and haven't ignited your home yet, you're lucky.

I have the Triton with the temp sensor and love it.I use it to charge my li-po's and 3300's.The temp sensor works excellent on it.My 3300 work very well when charged on it also even though it has a max of 5 amps.
