Default Did I make a good choice? (Lipo)

I just ordered a pair of FlightPower 2s 3300mah 25c lipo packs for my e-maxx- http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXSRT1&P=7 and I was wondering what charge rate would be the best? Im guessing around 3.3 amps or so... I will be charging them on my bro (Takedown's) Triton 2 charger. I will eventually buy my own charger but dont have the slightest idea what to get yet. I was looking at the Multiplex LN-5014 charger but I dont know yet. Did I make the right choice on those lipo's? My limit was $150 so go figure...

THEY LOOK GOOD, if it's the old (2-speed) e-maxx then they might be too long for the stock battery trays.

I sure hope they work good... The trays shouldnt be a problem. I measured up the trays lenght and width and it should fit fine. If not I got a powerful B&D RTX dremel to make them fit right.

i've never heard of that dremel.


I've got a stylus.



It's REAL comfortable, and it will last about 3 hours on a single charge(30 minutes)

Got mine from Wally World for about $30. Its got some real torque behind it. It doesnt use a battery, its a direct plug into the wall. Best part about it is Ive used it nonstop since I bought it last christmas and I havent noticed a difference in preformance yet. I also like the fact that it never bogs down under alot of load.
