Roger, that seems plenty of time. When I do touring cars in the summer, we have to charge our cells much quicker then that as there are less people. It's no problem.

I'm going to be charging my cells at 1C. So for the 4200mAh just charge at 4.2 ampere. They certainly can take more, I used to charge my IB's at more then that anyway. That way it's theoretical charge time (with 20% efficiency loss) of 1hr 12mins from flat, as you said you won't be running flat so you can be basically guaranteed of 100% charge for each run, no problem.

How do you cope with club racing? Surely when you race club level you have shorter then an hour between rounds? Just do whatever you do there. Really sounds like loads of time for me. I'm planning on charging my EP4200's for my 4wd and IB1400's for my micro all day using only one charger.

Andy - Looks fantastic!!
