I just ordered one along with a couple 3s 1800 40c Turnigy packs to check out... Coming EMS Express so it should get here next week if they can get it out the door in a day or 3...

Just noticed this, price is great. Looks like it has an AC plug in that you could plug laptop power supply into.
Let us know how it works out for you. |

Ooh, that's not very reassuring...
 We'll see how it goes, worth the gamble for under $20. Should leave HK tomorrow.

Up, but out of stock, and quickly.
This seems to be another clone: http://www.toysonics.com/extreme-x-6...e-charger.html same as this? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...idProduct=7028 |

Well, been using it a couple days now and it seems to be working pretty well. I don't have a nice DMM to check balance accuracy, but according to it's readout it's getting the cells within .01v of each other...
Only complaint so far is the fan. Sounds like the sleeve bearing is bad... |

I can't believe the price is so low!!
Can somebody answer this question: why pay a lot more for a Triton Jr when this hobbyking can give you the same at a much cheaper price? Where is the trick if there is one? I will consider this hobbyking as this one has storage setting! |

Is the minimum charge current 1A? Its odd that imax b6, this and the ac-6 all has 1A minimum, but the imax b8 has 0.1A? IS the b8 that different?
I have a blade msr with tiny batteries and being able to charge one of them would be nice if I want to. I can use 1A if I parallell-charge only. |

Where did you find that it has a 1A minimum? I opened the page from the link in the first post and it says: Charge Current Range: .1~5.0A
Edit: the first post also mentions the same values. |

Bambino. Unlike other resellers, I have read a few times that Hobbyking is satisfied with a much lower profit than most distributors/resellers. That is also why they are cheaper probably.
