Default Charger and batteries

Hey so im lookin for a charger and batteries for a tornado epx. I want something good but not super expensive. I guess if anybody has any suggestions give me a hollar. I want a quick charger that will charge it fast, and preferably more that one battery at a time, if they have it haha (im not sure exactly how these electrics are). I read somewhere that radio shack has a 15 min charger for 15 bucks, if that would work then why not. But i guess let me know and try to give links, im into nitro and this is for my gf's dad.

Default RE: Charger and batteries

you can try this charger its can charge 2 batteries and its a 15min charger http://www.rcplanet.com/Megatech_Jui...g_p/mtc613.htm also this is the one i own it charges pretty quick depending on how many mah the battery is but it can charge just about any battery 6-7cell but you can only do one at a time http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXCLD5&P=ML but both of these chargers are good. and as for batteries this is what i run in my stampede trinity 3600mah they give me about 25min run time but with the tornado it should be longer probly 30min. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXTAR7&P=ML

Default RE: Charger and batteries

I ordered an Associated Wolf Pack for my Tornado EPX. I decided on that battery from the fellow members that helped me, and my own judgment. The other good thing about that is you can use the stock charger. It's a 3600 7.2 volt nimh. This will give you extra speed, and running time. Plus it's so cheap. Total cost being only around 37.00$ (that includes shipping, and processing). You'll definitely be happy.
