I need a good charger
I need a good charger that I can use to charge the batt's on my E-maxx and any minis that I might get. A fast charger.

Some people think the Super Brain 959 is a bad charger, but I LOVED mine. MRC SUper Brain 959, thats what I would get.

Well, that one is like 45. If you cant do that, I dont know what else is good. That is the only charger I know of that works really well, I just ordered one.
I love the fact that I can hook it up to my Jeeps battery when im out with my friends...

Here's a better option, not much more $$$, Duratrax Piranha - http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXCLD5&P=ML It's just a more popular, better all around charger.
It can charge NiMH and NiCd packs, programmable for 10 different packs and can be set to charge at .1amp increments to match your pack's mAh rating, giving you the best punch and runtime. I have it and I LOVE it. It's ac/dc, so it can also be used on the fly hooked up to a car battery.

RE: I need a good charger
I checked the stats on the Super Brain. It has 7 pre-set settings, which are: 0.5A, 1.0A, 1.5A, 3.0A, 3.5A, 4.0A, 4.5A
The Piranha allows you to set at 0.1A increments to get the best battery charge without over or under charging. This charger is only $5 more than the Super Brain. It's definitely the one you want if you want a good inexpensive charger.
If you're considering ever going to LiPo, you should rethink everything and get the Duratrax ICE charger. It's way more than $45, but it will save you from spending $50 now and another $125 later. It can charge NiCd, NiMH and LiPo.
