Choosing a battery charger can be as simple or as complicated as you'd like it to be. Before you buy a charger, the question you may want to ask yourself is how good of a racer do you want to be
If you're happy to just go out and race with your buddies and have fun, then pretty much any charger capable of charging a 2s LiPo battery will be adequate. If, on the other hand, you have ambitions of being one of the more competitive racers and are willing to do whatever it takes to get the very best out of your car and equipment, you may want to invest in a premium charger (and possibly discharger) Recommended Chargers: The charger market is changing rapidly with new brands and chargers coming out very often so I'm not going to make any specific charger recommendations. Your best bet is to visit the track and see what other racers are using Where to buy: I primarily stock MuchMore chargers and order other brands such as ISDT, Junsi iChargers and SkyRC approximately once per month Here's what I currently have available: Here's what I can order: Used Equipment: One way to save some money on a charger is to consider buying a good used one. For the most part, chargers don't wear out so if you can find one that has been taken care of, it will probably be okay to buy used.
