Status: offline 		Oh - how stupid of me not to figure that out...HAHAHA., Thanks a lot for the info. I will try it out.

Any recommended settings for charging my Nimh battery, is auto better? its a 7.4v 3800 mah soft case battery. (have two lipo's coming, probably  somewhere on a plane over the ocean right now)

It can probably be set to max current regardless of type for a 3800 mah pack. But what is a softcase NIMH pack? Auto is fine if you have more time.

Status: offline 		Positive, I have the caldera 10E which comes with the nimh 3800 mah battery. Its "inked" in the side of it. In the mail though I have 2 Turnigy Nano Techs 2S 35C 5000mah lipos coming. These should be a marked improvement over the the stock....i think....i hope...lol.
