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

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:

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

well OTT, is it just a audio jack in?
you can get this for £15 notes will probally produce better sound.


and this for £2


plus its DC power only so you need a PSU on top of the £200 you just spent..
