Did any one notice?
 

Did any of you notice that the new traxxas charger is just a MRC super brain 820 with a few tweaks?
Let's look at the specks shall we?

I have the 960 and I was like, '' Hey that looks familiar! ''....just thought id share.:mdr:

That sure does look just like it. Hopefully it is, too. It's better to outsource it to a company that knows what they're doing (like having CC do the BL system on the new BL E-Revo) than spend the money developing your own.

the 820 is a great charger for "first time traxxas type buyer" no buttons to screw up. honestly i had one for my gf with some stick packs for her lazer zx-5 and j82 and its was great for her.

Only newbs wouldnt notice...:rofl:

I saw that, and was like, great, now MRC is in on the deal! :p

I wonder if I can get a 820, paint it blue, slap on a traxxas sticker on it and send it to them. will they honor the life time warranty? :rules:
let alone be able to tell if it's not there's.......:lol:
