                I have one of them to,
                But it's 50 watts and the other one is 150watt if you have the amps to push it.
                With that I can charge 8s and 10s 5000mah with no problem or four 2s 5000mah at one time at 5 amps in and hour or less.

                  How Bout a Fiberglass Boat??

                  but what do you guys think of the wildcat EP. i really like it but i wanna know how fast it is im looking for 30 mph+. can the minimono reach that? how about with an upgraded prop?
                  Wildcat EP sells for $219 and is a plastic boat... http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXBNVP&P=SM --- For $30 more you can get a real boat... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pro-Boat-Imp...item2c6daaad9a -- brushless, made from fiberglass and much better hardware on the transom.


                  Bout chargers...
                  I have a pair of Onyx chargers, have been serving my needs (trucks) for couple years with no hiccups. Got the 220 first, couple / three months ago I started using LiPo's in my Stampede so I picked up a 230 from ebay for something like $40 or so, both are fully programmable. I use this tool for balancing with the 230.. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXAEPR&P=ML


                  BTW: like your place, beautiful... must be nice to walk out your back door and be at lakeside in 5-minutes. Reason lenny asked you bout chop is cuz mono's handle it lot better than cats, hydros want glass - do a search on YouTube for AquaCraft UL-1 Superior.

                  Sorry for being long winded, just trying to help. Good luck and enjoy, RC boating is a blast

                      he is looking for charger and batteries for under 100 bux. for a starter this charger willleave him room for a couple of budget lipos. with your suggestion theres no room to purchase lipos on his budget "shrug"
                      im sure its a cool charger tho

                            not a fan.
                            hey have you looked into a superv 27r? that would be an awesome starter and will get you well over 30. they arent much more money than the wildcat http://www.activepowersports.com/aqu...z-boat-aqub23/
