Which Charger?
 

Looking to update my charger, what's hot and what's not? What are your experiences? Thanks in advance.:thumbsup:

this one the new one were using dave cant recomend it highly enough

charger
 

Get what you pay for

ORION everyday of the week

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 :D

What kind of power supply is needed to run it Carl?

300 watt minimum
we do those as well pm me if your interested

thats true jamie do you know who make them for orion lrp and nosram

you can buy them from me

ORION make expensive stickers mate, nothing else.

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:

+1 for Core UAC-50, Pretty faultless as far as I've used, also great vlaue for money.

then you would buy Bantam!!

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

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.
