    This is my charger,
    http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...r_Charger.html
    But it need a power supply for it like a pc does.
    I bought a 47amp server power supply for mine,

    If you know anything about pc that you could just make one cheap.
    The more amps it can put out the better the charger will work.
    So tell me what you know about pc power supply's
    ? ONLY IF THEY WORK

            Unfortunately they're out of almost all batteries at the moment - both Gens Ace and Sky Lipo brands. I'm trying to find some for my boat, and they raised the free ship cealing to $100, anything under and they nail you, for like $10~12.

            He lives back east and HP ships from So Cal, so he'll be looking at max rate

                  Yeah they sell out of the popular batteries quick, it depends on what you need. I hardly consider 10-12 bux for shipping lipos getting nailed...
                  I know if I order a tiny part from this website I pay almost 6 bux shipping and im half hour away. On the other hand if I get a few items it's still the same shipping cost. Best to bundle things to get the most out of shipping costs

                    if you live that close you can call them and they will bring you into their warehouse and give you your stuff so no shipping. at least my dad's business does that

                      You mean a boat with a charger ?
                      If so trust me you do not want one of them,
                      If you do you may find one on hear for free and just pay the shipping.
                      You could post a want to have your junk charger post,
                      On hear.
                      You never know who has what laying around in the dust.

                          Yeah it's 6 bux in gas both ways. Easier to ship than do the work USPS can do

                              The Exceed esc ( 50 amper ) needs to be replaced as it won't hold up very long. I have such a boat and replaced esc, motor, prop and drive system. The tubes coming out of cover need to be filled as they are hollow. Now other than that, it runs great and doesn't leak and has great speed. i would suggest parts but as i read, money isn't in abundance. Now for a 22" mono, Exceed has a red boat with flood chamber and uses 1 lipo like a 3S 2.2 but change the prop to a Octura 632 which has a higher pitch for more speed and esc needs to be a better one but thats it. I like it. The 27" boat is good. OK, the Villian EX that has been modified is a very good boat. I have all these boats. The Villian was just a new hull only and i put a UL-1 motor and my homemade drive sytem on 4S and it travels a good 35mph with a 440/3 prop. I have alot of boats.
