Default Charger?

Hi, i recently bought an FTX carange which has a 1800NiMH, 7.2v battery pack. I have been very happy witgh it so far but the one thing i could do with though is a better charger. At the moment it takes 6hours to fully charge which is quite a long time. I was wondering if somebody could help me and suggest some possible cheapish chargers. I don't want anything too fancy just something which won't take 6 hours!

Thanks

Felix

Personally I'd get something like http://www.hobbypartz.com/thac6smbachw.html

I know you want it for a NiMh, but that charger can charge NiMh's along with every other type of battery (in about an hour)
I was in your shoes, and went with a NiMh/NiCd charger when I 1st started electrics, and within 2 months I had to buy another LiPo charger when I decided to change over, and how have the NiMh charger sitting gathering dust(only use it when my nephews come over)

.....or this one.... http://www.hobbypartz.com/73p-ac680-accharger.html

Charges at 6 amps compared to the AC6 which does 5 amps.  Despite having a small fan, it is very quiet.
