well i messed around and stayed outside to long to bid on this LBA6 balancer i was watching on ebay. only went for $24, bummer. I have a week or so to make up my mind on the charger the built in balancer on the fma charger is nice but its DC only. which will be sort of a hassle considering i do 99% of my charging inside, i could always leave it in my clean building where i build my mx bike engines. I could just keep one of our marine boat batteries in there and charge it once a week. OR if i get the mrc 977 i would beable to charge nimh packs also but id need a good balancer (extra $50) and i would be limited to a 5 amp charge rate and limited to 3s. I have a little 1.2 amp peak charger to charge my mini's batteries and i could use it to charge a nimh reciever pack also. so i dont HAVE to beable to charge nimhs with the new charger.

I think the FMA charger will be nice to have simply because i could charge any kind of pack i could ever put into a truck. It would prolly be safer to keep it in the little clean building rather than our house anyways.

like i said its the last thing im gonna get and maybe my college instructor will let me try his charger out if i get the truck finished and dont have my charger yet.
