I hear you on the discharge limit for lipo, but I don't really use that feature. (Thats what my truck is for.:005: )

On the 1.25c lipo charge limit, I don't really plan on pushing my packs harder than that in the charger anyway. Lipos are expensive. No reason to shorten the life by charging at a higher than recomended rate. Under an hour for a fully charged 8000mah 5s pack is good for me. I am used to a 3A (MRC977) limit and 2.5 hour charge times.

I use mostly 8000mah packs, so the 10A becomes the limit for me anyway.

Like any product, there are thing that you wish you could change. But, all in all.... This is pretty decent for the $$$. I paid $169 and it comes with a power supply. The big wish that I have is that it MRC had a balancer that could communicate with the 989 like the TP1010 does.

Oh yea... One more cool thing I didn't know when I bought it. It comes with a temp probe and you can program a battery temp cut off as well. Most others that have temp sensing capability have it as an additional cost.

I can't decide if its more fun to make it... or break it... Silent...But Deadly Last edited by jhautz; 09.15.2006 at 01:04 PM.
