Hi guys just looking to get my first 1/8th electric. Can anyone give me any pointers in terms of charging trackside. Im going to get 2lots of cells but not sure about what sort of charger/ power supply is needed to handle 4cell packs. I have a big car battery I use for 1/10th racing but obviously only charging 2cells at 12v! As 1/8th run times are mega compared to 1/10th buggies not sure if what I have will handle it or would I need a bigger/ better charger!?
Any pointers and advice would be great! cheers

Just try the same gear but set your charger to charge a 4 cell pack instead. Then you may see what you need if anything.

I use the Team Orion advantage IQ 60s charger
It will charge 1-6s lipo/life/li-Lon ,NiMH/NiCd 1-15 cells and comes with lots of different charge leds.
