144? That's gross! (hope you get the humor )

For the charger, there are several options. The Duratrax Piranha is a decent option for $50, the Intellipeak Digital is the next stage for $100, and finally an Integy 16x3v6 is about the best AC powered unit you'll find and that runs about $130...

For a pack, Boom Boom is an excellent choice. Once he is making the A main, Fusion packs are pretty much the ultimate racing packs on the market today.

btw, what part of TN?
