z28 you got my brain turnin tonight, and I was thinking about what I could use. Then it dawned on my why not a car battery charger, set it on 12V and 4 amps thats all the one I have can muster, and it seems to be working perfectly. Thanks for the alternative ideas. And if this is totally stupid some one please tell me. Shocked

I am using the Ofna supreme power supply with my Hyperion Duo. It is small and compact powerful. Here is the link, http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXXEX4&P=7

The Protek ones are what I deal with and the ones you see at the local tracks here. 20 or 40 amps.

You want higher amps, 4 amps is super low, long charge time's,

Here are a bunch of 20A $25-$50

Thanks for the responses and suggestion fellas. And yeah your right xsavage the 4 amps is giving me 20 minute "Fast Charges" and 40 min "Balance Charges" but this will tide me over for now. Thanks again.

I use this one with the same charger you have. Dude you are capable of charging at 20 amps so do it. Charge times are super fast for me. Take advantage of that charger. You couldn't have picked a better charger. Well I'm sure there is but for the price it's a great charger. I have been using this setup almost daily and love it. I now have almost 20 lipos all 5000mah and up and can charge them all in a couple hours.

You could if your wife drove too. Both trucks take 2 a piece with 20-25 min runtimes. It goes quicker than you think. That's why I invested in a fast charger but since the 30 amp came out, I wish I would have waited. Oh well, it's plenty fast for now but I could sure use those extra 10 amps of charge.
