Everything looks cool, the only thing i am missing is the chargers... One question here, what happens if i use the triton charger and charge the big batteries at 3 amps in LiPo mode??? Would it work? Also any source to buy the weird connectors in the ION use?

Thanks!

Do what you can with what you have. Often is more than enough.

Unless they have made an update since I bought mine, the Triton will only charge up to 4 cells of LiPo. You need something that will charge 5 cells.

I agree with sctos, the Astro Flight 109 is your best choice. A pair of these, and a Radio Shack 25 amp power supply work great together. Mount all 3 inside a metal tool box and it makes for a very compact setup.

Hey d wheel, can you run both chargers off the Radio shack power supply at the same time?

Yes, I do it all the time. You just have to keep the charge current under 6.5 amps on each charger.

Thanks, thats the setup I have now. I just got a Ion and Astro chargers. How long does it take to charge at that amperage?

It depends on how long, and how hard you fly.
