Beginners charger and battery
Right now I am debating between a 2WD Traxxas Slash and a 4WD Arrma Stenton. This will be my first RC purchase in over 15yrs and the Lithium batteries are all new to me. It is my understanding that both of the models I am considering can run 2S Lipos. I am looking more for run time and not really concerned with more power. I've dug around the internet for a few days now and it seems the possibilities are almost endless. I think I've settled on something around 2S 50C 7.4V 5000mAh range. This seems to be a sweet spot for the price, usually sub $50.00/battery.
Right now I'm looking at 2ea: Gens ace 7.4V 5000mAh 2S 50C LiPo Battery Pack HardCase with Deans T Plug for RC Car Boat Truck Roar Approved
with this charger: HTRC C240 DUO Dual Multi-Charger AC 150W/DC 240W Balance charger/discharger. (Sorry can't post URLs yet)
I like the idea of the dual charger for convenience, but as far as brand names go, I'm open to suggestions. I'd like to be able to pick up 2 batteries and a charger for around $150. Something that will work for either truck I decide on and give me decent run times.
I would appreciate any advise or suggestions to get me up and running.
