| which brand of chargers do you use or do you just go with the adapters that come with the tanks? I don't think those provided are the best. |

| Jarlath has made a good post on this. I'll try to find it and insert the link. For me, I have a couple of chargers. One is a Venom Pro2. I can adjust the charge rates. Charges multiple style batteries. And I have all the connector ends for the different batteries. I am still working on standardizing them. Any quality charger that has these options will be better than the USB charger or simple charger that comes with a tank. Your batteries will last longer and hold charge better.

| please don't tell me you spent $250 for that Venom Pro2? I just want something under $100 with Tamiya connector since all of my batteries are with Tamiya connectors (same as my Tanks). |

| thanks General. I have no problems cutting off the Deans T connector and replacing them with a Tamiya connector. Right now I have, from Amazon, a HAISITO charger for $66 which I will be testing. That's about the range I am comfortable with. I'll give you an update later. Thanks again. |

| Lipo's are higher performance for higher cost and higher risk (maintenance).
Not for everyone and with lighter tanks, not really necessary. |

| From Amazon I ordered a Haisito charger but when testing it out the instructions and programing got so complicated that I am returning it and ordered a smaller less complicated charger. I guess simpler is really better. To paraphrase "K I S S". |
