Few noob questions

[Allan1875]

Hi guys,

done a search of the forum before i posted this but the threads didn't quite answer my questions specifically so anyone that could take the time, i'd be very grateful.

I used to race TC back in the NiCd and for the last few years i've been racing Mardaves on oval with NiMH.

Just bought a B44.1 and i am moving over to lipo. I currently have 2 saddle packs, however i don't have a charger, still trying to decide.

Initially i was panicky over lipo's due to all the scaremongering videos on youtube, but it soon becomes apparent that most of them are soft cases and being completely abused.

I was thinking i still wont scrimp and get a decen't charger, probably a Pulsar touch unless anyone has any other suggestions?

Here is my 2 questions:

1. When the saddles are in the car and i bridge them, do i just use a normal bit of wire with a corally at either end? I think the answer is yes but i want to be 100% sure.

2. When i balance charge them, i believe i need a different lead to bridge them but i've no idea which one. I know on stick packs the balance lead plugs directly into the lipo. Is this the lead i need? http://www.jemodels.com/electric-mod...ategory_id=485

Thanks in advance for any answers. Any comments to lay any lipo fears to rest would also be much appreciated, i think i fear the unknown.
