Anyone into R/C?

Any suggestions for budget friendly chargers for 2S/3S lipos? Preferably with the ability to charge 2-3 at once and discharge feature would be nice (I assume balance feature is pretty much standard by now).

 

I have a venom pro 4x or whatever it's called. It is nice. And does intelligent shit and multiple chemistries

 

X2 on this. That charger does just about everything and will do 2 batteries at once.

 

It's on sale for $19.99 instead of $55 so that's a pretty good deal, thanks guys.

Edit: nevermind, that's the 1S charger, reading comprehension would help

 

This one is like what I’ve got. Dirt cheap and will do anything you want pretty much. It’s strictly 12v. If you look a little you’ll find the same thing with a built in 120/240v power supply for about $10-15 more.

To charge/discharge/store multiple lipo batteries you can get some of these. But I don’t know exactly how to use them.

. I am a little...

 

Those Heli’s are huge!

I almost picked up the venom pro duo but we may be trading some equipment work with a neighbor and he has a bunch of RC stuff to trade (small Heli’s, planes, a truck or two, and a 1/8 truck, plus batteries and chargers) so I decided to hold off and see what he has.

 

After decades of buying hot rod parts I had a shoebox full of performance stickers. Looked scale enough for the Bronco... both sides are the same.

 

Altec Lansing Mini H2O 3 bluetooth speaker. Rechargeable battery, running my Pandora while we crawl. Secured with velcro straps. 8oz weight added.

 

Picked up an xmaxx yesterday. First run, no longer than 10 minutes the spur explodes.

 

The new ProLine Metric body looks like a 2nd gen. You can even get a 12-15 for it.

 

Got this one last week. It's an RC4WD TF2 Marlin Crawler edition. Haven't run it much but have done some quick mods to it.

 

Picked up a vs410 chassis kit. Going to swap the portals from a custom comp rig under it and build some other axles for the comp rig. I needed a new project now that teaching is done for a few months

 

Those things are expensive but very nice. All Vanquish stuff is top notch.

 

The chassis setup is only a hundred but it felt like a better deal than custom or piecing together an axial setup. I also think the geometry will compliment portal axles better

 

Where did you get it?

 

Hobbytown ordered it in. I have not been able to get down to Denver to go to a crawler specific shop I like. I still need shocks, drive shafts and transmission. I have a motor and receiver for it but may go another route on the servo and esc.

 

Started painting the accessories on the truck to make it more scale lookin...made some aluminum panels for it too

 

Found out we have a bunch of 3S lipos and 2 Venom 2S-4S chargers.
Unfortunately it seems as though the RX in my E-Flight Timber STOL is short, I switched TX’s and no joy, both TX’s will bind with our other Timber.

 

So the real question now, spend $50 on 2 2S batteries, or put that money into an ESC that can utilize 2S and 3S Since we already have 3S batteries.
From the little bit of reading I’ve done this motor should do fine with a 3S, it’s (I think) just the ESC that’s limiting us.
