I ended up getting a Venom Pro3 charger since it will charge about all battery types and has some nice features to it. Comes with all leads for all batteries, 72 bucks from Tower....I feel its a great deal. I also got a 5000mah nimh battery I can use in the Blackfoot and my boat. To top it off I got a Tamiya 540 Bz super stock for some extra kick for my Blackfoot extreme. Can't wait.....been a long time since building a Tamiya.
