hi everyone, i want to start racing lipo pan car but dont know if i need another charger. i have a much more ctx and it says it charges lipo but will it charge the lipo's i would use in my pan car? also is it good for it? does it charge high enough to be worth it or is it junk? lol
thanks!

If it will charge at 6 amps in Lipo mode then you should be fine but you might want a balancer that you can get to plug in-line before your battery.

i think the ctx will not charge a lipo 2c or 3c at more than 1 amp...not gonna cut it..

they may have a new charger out for lipo though?

no i am talking about the much more that i have. im reading that i can only use it for 1 cell lipo's and with the lipo i would use for pan car racing i would only be able to charge at 1 amp. i guess i will have to start fcharging the week b4 i plan on racing.

looking for a charger a bit smaller. but that might be the best solution. i did get rid of my gfx though so ill have to look for a good deal online first. i was wondering if the much more was upgradable for lipo's?
