looking for a 2-3s charger - 12.13.2010, 03:58 PM

so whats a good cheapo charger? I got my brother a crawler and i need a charger that can do 2-3s lipos at atleast 2amps the simpler the better unless i can find a decent used charger for a good deal. I dont care if its AC or dc.

any suggestions? and no im not getting or giving him a hyperion even though i have 4...

CellPro 4S. Charger, lipo adapter, 36" extension (if need) is only about $75 shipped. Very easy to use, automatically balance charges thru balance tap as soon as you plug it in, no need to press buttons. Good up to 4A.

I only use CellPro now.

I bought and swapped stuff around here lately and ive ended up with nearly nothing out of my pocket and i have a fully done up rtr venow creeper thats with novak rooster crawler, tekin 55t, hitec 5645, full dig setup, rovers, bodiless AB chassis, and a few 2s 2000 lipos. it doesn't sound like much but for what i have in it its a great truck.

so im looking for a charger for this thing so i can possibly give it to him because he wasn't interested in racing but the crawlers really caught his attention. Besides he has way to much free time so he needs a hobby.

he aint worth a hyperion charger....lol he's my brother, he is too cheap to buy his own rc but likes to romp on mine. i gotta find one of those little parkzone, eflite, or rx lipo chargers that just plugin and start charging, they gotta be cheap.

They are cheap. If you are crafty you can find them for about 10 bucks or less. Then find a wall wort (ac adpter) that puts out 12v wsith something like 1500mah or whatever, you may even have on hanging around from some old pc stuff or video game equip.

lol you have no idea. we don't spend much on each other but id like to give him this crawler but i'm not gonna drop much money on something he prolly won't take the best care of, altough they do make a small hyperion charger for less than $50 i might swing for that....

I still gotta find a 3ch 27mhz AM radio for this thing so the dig will work other wise its dead weight. Any ideas on that one too? i was thinking an old tq3 but they dont have epa's and thats important.

If you can find the futaba 3pm cheap it is a great digital tx to use for 3ch. They have to be way less than 50 bucks used, especially if you can find a 27mhz as those cannot be very popular. Or maybe the 3 ch jr radio that used to come with the lst, pre spectrum... Sounds like you need to ebay radios, or scour rctech and make a trade.
