Default Battery Charger

Im looking to buy a good battery charger under $50 bucks, i am only running nicid-nimih batteries...I have looked at the MRC superbrain and it seems to have quite a few problems and not to many charging rates then i looked at the duratrax pirhana and it has any charging rate from .1 to 5.0 rates and offers alot more and it is the same price. Please help me on a good charger as im using the stupid charger's that came with my mini-t that are slow and junk....

If your running mini batts the digital piranha is great.

i just got a pack and charger combo for 35 bucks at my local shop. it isnt best quality, but it was a good deal!!! the pack is a 6 cell 1200 and it tacks about 2 hrs to charge.

Only a good deal if you like to wait 2 hours between charges to run your car...............

you can choose the amps in the intellipeak, so you can have a fast charge or a slow charge.
