according to traxxas site no
5-6cell nimh, or nicd is only listed

unless it's for a mini, you want more than 2000mah anyways

i just looked at the prices of the lipos on amazon, you would be better off buying them from hobbypartz or hobbyking. amazon has rediculously priced lipos!

get a dynamite brand prophet plus, lcd charger will charge 4 to 7 cell ni-cad and nimh packs. i liked one first one so much i bought a second one i havent found any thing it wont charge, the best thing is you can dial in the amps you the bat to charge at. when its done it beeps at you. it IS worth every penny, it even has a display showing the amps its charging. i even charged 8 cells once. i think its the best money i have spent on r/c s

No the traxxas charger can not charge LiPos you need a LiPo charger.

I have the charger Syco linked.  It works great and comes with everything you need to charge lipos.

This http://www.dynamiterc.com/Products/D...ProdID=DYN4036 only charges nihm or nicd it says it right in the description.

What exactly is your price range? I have a Dynamite Vision Ultra that I got for about 90 bucks that will charge all the types of batteries needed from NiCAD to LIPO. However, it doesn't have a balancer so you will have to buy that separately. It works really well and charges the 2200 mAH batteries I use in my Traxxas 1/16th models in about 35 minutes at 2.2 amps.

Heres the thing if you buy a NiMh/NiCd charger chances are you will need a new home to live(after your current burns down) in if you try charging a lipo on it.
The only lower cost chargers require a DC power supply (which will get you to around $50 either way)
The one I linked is probably the lowest cost solution if you want to run lipo.

hey syco is there any other lipo charger thats like around below 40$

lithiumx152

lets just get this straight i would like to buy the Prophet Plus AC/DC Peak Charger but ALL I NEED TO KNOW IS THAT WILL IT charge a 20C 7.4V 2000mAh 2S LiPo battery , if so just say yes in your post if not please explain why , thank you and good bye

I could help you but going by your posts and your imaptience I would have to say "No, no I wont". Not because I dont like you right off the bat, which i dont, but because i do not think you will even be able to read the instruction manual.

It has been mentioned to go onto hobbypartz.com OR hobbyking.com and buy your LiPos and charger there. You shoudl eb able to go on toa website and read for yourself what the charger does instead of prancing around on here and demanding help in such a way....

trickle007 answered that 7 posts ago...
the answer is NO
Lipo is a COMPLETELY different chemistry than NiMh, and NiCd, and will more than likely cause the battery to explode due to improper charging (not joking at all look up lipo fires)

Hell the charger I linked is $44 with FREE shipping if $4 over $40 is too much extra to pay IMO you are in the wrong hobby, and should not bother. RC's start racking up cost fast when you drive them.

I am posting this comment here due to the lack of response and explanation from this person. Whom I must say I have no idea who this person is? I have not sold anything to him or purchased anything from! This individual left a negative comment on my rcu stores and I would like to know why? I have sent (2) PM’s now with no response. Below is my PM response.

Do I know you? Did you purchase something from me? I can answer that, "NO" And you have the audacity to leave this comment! I would like an explanation on why you left this comment? Quote " this shop is a failure" I guess you didn't bother to look at my positive feedback of 746! I have listed over 2000 items on rcu and have many happy customers. Easy for you to sling mud with NO FACTS whatsoever. You have absolutely no credibility whatsoever! 0 feedback!

You will find out sooner or later .  Sir!

Ibcinyou!

Okay! Find out what? Or are you going to leave us all in suspense?
Apparently you just want to play games and waste everyone’s time. You did NOT purchase anything from me. You leave a ridiculous comment posted about my rcu store? I call you on it and you say “quote You will find out sooner or later . Sir!

lithiumx152

Some people just don't learn now do they.

Ibcinyou!

I guess you’re correct! Some just don't know how to answer a simple question?
Based on your comments you must be some punk kid playing games on these forums.
If you have something intelligent to share with everyone then spit it out! If nothing more than stupid comments, Then shut your mouth!
