And the chargers to charge 2 lipos at once were about 40 bucks, compared to the 90 I spent for the onyx 240 dual charger, that won't charge lipos (my lipo chargers will charge nimhs, though). You know what a cheap buzzard I am, so it should be no surprise that I'm going with the most economically viable option available! Hey, I may be a tightwad but I can at least make it sound fancy. Hmmm, "Economically viable option". I like that. Next time your GF complains about money spent on tanks tell her that after much contemplation and serious consideration this the most economically viable option available. See if that flies.
