    http://www.amainhobbies.com/rc-cars...dc-battery-charger-6s-8a-80w-ptk-8513/p260579

    You'll never need another charger for anything you have that needs batteries. Can charge off your trucks battery or 12v cigarette port.

    Very happy with this charger.

    Can trickle charge my tiny ass 1s 35C 160mh helicopter batteries or blast my 3000mh NiMh in 20 minutes. Also does storage charge for LiPos so they don't tank.
    Also used it to refresh my NiMh battery back to full strength. Last full charge it took from dead empty was 2980ish.

    Google coupons for Amain before checkout.

    Swapped the scorpion tires the other day. The old Rock Lizards were cracking with age.
    Went from 5 to 5.5 in size. The new tire compound sticks like glue :p
    Also added 12 ounces in weight to each wheel wrapping lead weights around the inside. Another big improvement.

    That's 3 pounds of rotating mass. That is too much you need some chassis weight to make the thing flex

    Some guys have studded tires to bash around with.... No studs while ra ING though. This is just due to safety, we don't want a Marshall to get torn up...

    Brother he converted it to a different measurement in the next post I thought he was saying something different. I know best what i thought, regardless of how you read it. Quit busting my balls

    12 ounces per tire is 2.25 pounds, total added weight, using fuzzy math.
    16, 7 gram lead squares per wheel is 3.95 ounces, which is what I actually used.

    None of us would ever make it as drug dealers, just sayin. :rasta:
