So far as BL systems go, the 'best' depends on what it is you want from the system and how much you are willing to spend; Castle systems ( MMM & MMpro ) do really well in anything MT and 'uggy shaped, but so too do the sensored Tekin systems- pretty equal specs so its a bit of a personal preference thing that you arrive at from using both systems usually. Tekin does have the advantage of a wider range of motor kv choices, though the castle motors are more powerful by most accounts- you'll see people using MMM escs and tekin motors quite often so I wouldnt get too hung up either way.

As for chargers, there are a fair few dual-channel lipo chargers that can do two lipos at once without the need for a home-made wiring harness:

Most of those will require a separate powersupply too- there is a nice tutorial that shows you how to make your own cheap & powerful supply:

Thanks for your welcome.

I just plan on using it at home, and maybe sometimes using it in my truck when I stop by the local track. So Ill need AC/DC use.

Ive got alot of reading and researching to do also, I started looking at all those links and got alil overwhelmed!! I will read that write up on the homemade power supply as well.

I appreciate the help so far, this whole lipo deal is new to me, I swore I never was going to do it because of when they first came out I read alot of horror stories about fires etc. But Ive also heard they have come a long way since than, plus my buddy has been into this for about 4 months with no problems.

My buddy is using the Passport lipo charger by Dynamite. It only charges a single battery at a time. He suggested to but two of them since their only 65 each. I personally rather have just one that does two. But I don't want to buy one thats not quality and have a potential fire.

Anyways, thanks again for your help so far. I will do much more reading on this and figure out which one is good for what I plan on doing.
