SuperBrains are really good also. that is what i use. The older 900 model i think but not sure off hand. they have some really good newer models now that will charge everything.

Good info, thanks. Are the Dynamites reliable and durable? Meaning that they will last. I've never heard of them; so, I'm not familiar with them.

My SuperBrains have lasted quite a few years. So, I looked at them first. But, they don't have any x4 chargers and, looking at the MRC website, their options appear to be dwindling quickly. Not sure if they're leaving the charger market.

yes and I believe they also have a 5 year warranty on there chargers. the hitec and venom are all good chargers. the venom is cool because it stands up and takes less room.

Dynamite chargers are the in house brand chargers and batteries of Horizon Hobbies. They're here to stay.

All good info...thanks, guys.

I like the 4 screens on the Dynamite x4s. But, the stand-up feature of the Venom is nice. Choices...

Got my venom pro duo in today, nice charger, a little confusing, I'm wanting to discharge and charge my 1700 7.2 Ni-cd battery. Just trying to figure this out on how to get that started. I guess where Im getting confused is trying to figure out what the best charging amp is for the batteries that I have. I don't want to over charge them.


7.4/1800 mAH Li-ion 2s
7.2/1700 mAH NI-CD
7.2 SC2000 mAH NI-MH
7.2 3800 mAH NI-MH

Never mind, its all coming back now, I just remembered how to set the amps depending on the size of the battery, example 1700 would be 1.7

I have been using the Hyperion chargers for a long time and have 2 of these, I keep one in the shop and one in the boat racing trailer. They have been rock solid.

I just got a Venom Pro 3 for my current dive back into RC cars. I needed a nimh charger and so happens this one does all batteries. One at a time, but it's ok with me cause I don't race and am pretty casual. I can wait, lol.

sgtparker01 02-01-2017 07:32 AM

After using my Venom pro duo a couple of times,, I sure am liking it, very ez to use, and can do 2 batteries at one time.

shenlonco 02-01-2017 08:03 AM

Guy's I picked up a charger that will charge Lipo, life, nimh , nicd all with one press of a single button and the charger sets everything automatically! Its up to 4 amps, doing some tests on it right now and will post a video of how it works when I am finished testing it.
If all goes good it should be a great charger for anyone to use even the kids it's that simple!

Good morning, I put on sale my charger 200W Tamco (55 Euros) with even the display protective film. I purchased by mistake and I had forgotten that I had my charger 400w. For convenience I use one for my Lipo. L 'object is in Italy and if you are interested I can negotiate to find agreement on the price (including shipping!). Let me know. Yours sincerely.
