Just do a search in the forums or maybe on YouTube to see what others are saying about the SkyRC T6755. The specs look good for a basic LiPo charger. The touch screen is an added bonus, if you must have that option. If you don't need a touch screen you could get almost the same charger for almost half the price.

What is the voltage and mah rating of the batteries you are planing to charge???

if ur just messing around with 2s and 3s lipos a 50w charger will do the job, but if u are running higher voltages it's worth getting a more powerful charger so u can still charge 6s lipos at a minimum of 1c

Is the Traxxas 2933 EZ-Peak Plus 6-Amp any good? I thought about getting it also.

Traxxas 2933 EZ-Peak reviews:

My opinion is...it's just another 80 watt "4 button" re-branded version of iMax's charger. The list of those similar chargers is long.

I have run 2 of them for the last 3-4 years. They work great. They have balance ports and will charge several chemistries, including Life, A123. Another one to look at is the Hitec charger that will do 4 batteries at once. They can be had for about $200, AC/DC and will do all of the things the Imax B6 will do.
