Going back to Flux. Fill me in on Lipo & chargers

Man, even though it only charges at 5 amps max, for $55 thats a screaming deal, even if I get two of them. I hear alot of people like this one also. http://www.hobbypartz.com/thac6smbachw.html

What's people experience been with reliability of the Lipos from hobbyking? I've heard its kinda hit and miss at times. How have the returns/exchanged/refund process gone, especially if you get something from a warehouse over seas?

no such thing...... your up ****creek with what ever junk you buy from them


if you want to have a good experience with the least amount of problems dont be a cheap bastard. get some Hyperion G3 lipos and enjoy the truck. as for the chargers if you dont wanna shell out for a new hyperion charger then buy a used duo or buy an even cheaper used eos0610inet (around $100 + a power supply) and make a harness to charge and balance both your 2s packs as a 4s pack this would be your best option

Goes both ways, my expensive "quality" SMC lipo's from last year were finicky and unreliable. Many other users have experienced the same. Turnigys seem to be getting alot of praise from most folks and for the prices, I can't argue.

And forgot to mention, but the charger has got to have a built in AC capability, I aint dealing with seperate DC power units.

I recommend the icharger 208b.
