Hyperion 0720i (http://robotbirds.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=9_268&products_id=3491) - can charge at 20A which is 5C for a set of 4000mAh cells.....

Yep, that's all I can come up with other than the I-Charger 208B (20A, 8S).

No manufacturer (that does RC anyway) has yet produced a 5C capable charger that I'm aware of.

To be fair, 5C isn't that much of an improvement on 4C (if 1C takes 1 hr from flat, 2C takes 30 minutes, 3C takes 20 minutes, 4C takes 15 minutes, 5C takes 12 minutes). It's only 3 minutes improvement, you're hardly going to notice.

Either of the chargers we've suggested can charge at 4C, so still pretty damn quick.
