That Lipo is fine, I have heard good things about them. I like the Zippy Lipos from Hobbycity.com They perform great and are the cheapest too. Take a look at these links.

I use these in my 18T, with a Mamba 5400 I get 40-50 minutes runtime

And this charger is the best for the money. It has proven reliability and it will charge anything you can buy.

I used that one, had to cut the chassis a bit....sort of fold the side wall out 45 degrees to squeeze it in there.

If you have any other cars, look at getting Lipo for them as well, and then order with the SMSfast shipping option.
It is seriosly fast delivery!

Far as chargers go, the accucel 6 on that site is popular, but you need a seperate power supply.
batteries, charger, power supply all on that site and you probably can get it all delivered for $100...!
Not sure if the power supply linked below is the one you need though...
