Status: offline 		Hey guys,
I have had my belt cp for 2 weeks now and love it. I can all ready do tail in hovering, and have started playing around with forward flight and side to side flight. The one thing that is really annoying is waiting on the stock charger. I know that i will not be able to progress as fast as i would like having the wait 4 hours for a fully charged battery! So i'm in the market for a new charger. My price range is under $40 for everything. Dose not have to be a balanced charger (will borrow friends blinky ever 20 or so charges). Any suggestions?

Right now im looking at this charger with a cop. power supply for indoor use:

Any one used this set up???

Thank you,
Zachary McCool

you can have a cellpro for 70 bucks or so, maybe less if you catch it on sale. Balances and will charge with plenty of options. I would save up a while longer and go that route, it is an inexpensive charger but one that can last with you for quite some time.

IMO if you get a 40 dollar charger, you won't really be much better off than you are now.
