Go with a Hyperion, they're worth the money. the 720i or whatever it is has a built in PS and is pretty powerful, yet can be hooked up to an external PS for even more power, and the price is under $200

If I were in your situation I would get the Eco 6-10 charger and just use your current power supply with it. For charging 2 batteries at the same time, just get a second charger and either a new power supply or make a parallel adapter so u can run both chargers off the one power supply.

Thanks for the help guys I'm going to grab one of these soon and I might as well get a few more lipos as well. Maybe some 4s this time.

I ended up ordering the Hobby King charger that was talked about.

Once I get the charger and use it a few times I will share my results.

Thanks for the help guys,
Nick

Here's a link the charger.

just to let anyone who is interested know. I have an order in for this charger and it just came off of backorder. So if anyone would like one now is the time to buy one.

I should have a full update/report on the charger by next week, as long as it ships out soon.

So I received my charger yesterday and it does plug right into my power supply from MRC.

So here is the power supply if anyone is interested,
http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...C-Power-Supply

I think if I were to do this again I would have just bought another MRC Super Brain 989, right now they are on sale for $110 at amainhobbies and that comes with an external balancer and power supply.
http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...RB126-Balancer

So when you look at the price of the Hobbyking parts,
$33 plus shipping
$42 power supply
$10-20 for balancer plug leads and temp sensor

So that is roughly $95-$100 and for $120 I could of have one that comes as a full package deal. I guess the cheapest charger isn't always the cheapest solution.
