batteries or brushless

IMO, i would stay far away from the 977!!! i had nothing but problems with that charger unless i charged at a very low amp, like 3amps, or it did well with my rx packs. You could go with a triton, or duratrax charger. As for batts, you could go with gp3300's. they are suppose to pack a good punch. IB3800's are also good. IB4200's? Not sure, people say different things about them. I loved my IB3800's though, i still run two 7cells that i have had for a long time with no issues what so ever! Otherwise, go lipo right from the start!
