Great for parallel charging, I have one on order.
Great hobbies is going to sell these but for $249.00 Wow that's some mark-up.
I pointed out that Greathobbies because it my be an alternative To Hobby king if you don`t wanna wait for this charger.Plus that price might be just for website purposes

If you read Junsi's thread on RCGroups - they also rebadge the iChargers for Amain. ProgressiveRC is the iCharger distributor, David carries a lot more iCharger stuff than Amain -

I had one one of the Powerlab8 pre-ordered, then found out only their wiring, cables and balance adapters will fit which meant I'd be starting over and all mine would be useless. I bailed (they were nice enough to let me bail) and will be buying an iCharger 3010B.

First place I saw the 3010B charger back in may was Greathobbies.

The "blue" version is just the latest updated version of the charger, so it won't be long before all sites that sell them update their stock photos to show the new blue version.

I wondered about the iCharger Series of Chargers, and who made them, so a while back I called HobbyCity and they told me that they were manufactured by ProTek, and gave me a number to contact them. I then contacted ProTek directly, and they said that they did, in fact, manufacture their iCharger Series of Chargers, but after a lengthy discussion, the guy revealed that they don't "fully" manufacture ALL of their products...they contract out certain components of certain products...like their LiPos, the actual cells are manufactured in Hong Kong, partially assembled in China (cells soldered into series/parallel sub-assemblies), and then ProTek does the final assembly (wires, connectors, shrink-wrap, hard-cases). All of their new LiPos, other batteries, Power-Supplies, and other products have the new "blue" decals just like the latest version of their iChargers.

Anyway, my point being, ProTek does manufacture the iChargers, but they also contract out and source parts from other companies/places...at least that's what the ProTek guy told me on the phone.
