Looks interesting, where's the best place to get one of those?

To me this is an interesting question. Theres alot of talk that although there are lots of brands of Lipos they are all pretty much made in only a few places. Now looking at the various chargers available they all look very similar.

I've got an Orion charger but I bought it because it has the A/C plug. Theres a couple of chargers out there that look exactly the same as the Orion charger. I've also got a Turnigy 12V powered charger and that looks identical to about 80% of the charger we see these days. Gone are the days when you'd turn up at a meet with a ProTrak or a Turbo30 if you were particularly flush and folk would know you meant business

Currently using a much more legend, very good charger. Only downside is the need for a powersupply.

MuchMore Hybrid would be my choice if I needed to replace the legend:

[Hatebreed]

i recommend icharger, their chargers are really nice, high quality and its nice to be able to measure the internal resistance on the batteries!

[trax de max]

icharger range for price.
It's not worth getting a charger under 100watts.

Stay away from the UAC50 I've had 2 in 4 months one's a replacement for another which was a replacement for a UAC40, and the fan on the current ones dodgy, I'd stay away from core full stop I've been bitten by gash handsets, servos and chargers.
