I have the SuperBrian 977 and three boats: SV27, new UL-1, and a Blast. I have always ran NiMh on the SV27. The charger is great for those. I would recommend another charger for Lipos. I have read too many bad reports with the 977. I have a Hyperion EOS0606i for my Lipos. I have not had a chance to run the SV27 on lipos yet, been too busy with the UL-1. I use the Lipos mainly for my truck racing hobby (Traxxas Slash). Have fun, that is what I tell people this hobby is all about. I will quit when is it not.
Not to hijack the thread but what exactly is wrong with the SuperBrain 977 for charging Lipo's?? I run my SV27 on the DTX3800 NiMh's and have the 977 charger, i'm very happy with the performance of both. I also just bought a set of DTX4600's which i plan on using with another boat i'm building, but i will try them in the SV27 just to see the difference. Eventually i want to go the Lipo way, but if my SuperBrain 977 charger isn't adiquite for charging Lipo's than i may not cuz i don't want to have to spend more money on another charger.
