This seems to be the same as my £100+ charger and is a fraction of the cost

Thought you were getting the Pro-Trak refurbished and upgraded?

I like the charger Lewis uses, can charge and balance 4 LiPo's at a time, or 3 Lipo's and your nimh Reciever or transmitter pack etc at a meeting.

Just remember with these LiPo's that you can only charge 1A per 000mah, so a 3200 pack can be charged at max 3.2A or a 5000 LiPo can max charge at 5A

It therefore takes 1 hour per full charge from empty... so having a charger that does more than one pack is a bloomin good idea when racing with heats close together.

I think it retails at £100 ish.

Yes the Pro-Trak is off for refurb and upgrade as we speak. I was just thinking another cheaper unit may be a useful addition to the pit box. Soemthing like Phil's ebay link seems ideal.... Maybe I should have kept that charger I won.

You mean you have left it until you need one to get the Pro Trak sent off and now you are stuck without one?!

The Carnage prize one was £40-50 but the one Phil found maybe worth having as a spare at that price... you really can see the price differences are in a brand name sticker these days!

Found a complete 'clone' of a Schumacher Mi4 touring car on ebay t'other day, at 1/4 of the price, they even sell it using the Schumacher sales blurb and have 'clone' written on the advert?!!
