good one, it will charge ur battery in under an hour. granted you will need to change the connector. but that won't be so hard

I use that one, it works great. It's also nice because it's AC/DC, so if you're out somewhere you can just clamp it onto your car battery and charge there.

Yes, you do need to buy a connector. Couple bucks.

It will and does work. I charge my reedy gp1100 pack with it just fine. I also charge my transmitter (8 cell nimh) and my nitro rx pack with it too. It's a great charger for the price.

I just bought a Dynamite Vision Peak 2 AC/DC charger and it is pretty darn nice. Can charge 4-7 cells at 1,2,4 amp. Its peak and trickle and you can moniter how far it has charged by the LED meters. 40 bucks is a nice deal for it too.

I use the MRC959 charger. Works great and can set the charge rate from .5 to 4.5 amps. It charges 1-8 cells so it will charge your radio batteries too. It costs about 40-45 bucks.

I know the GP1100s can be charged at up to 2 amps, so about 1.5 amps would be good. Im not shure about the stock pack tho.
