Excellent charger and batteries
Picked this up because I'm getting the Rustler 4x4 VXL and wanted to switch to 3 cell. It’s a great value. The charger is super user-friendly and handles everything for charging and storing your LiPo batteries. It supports NiMH too; just remove the “Traxxas” logo cover left of the LiPo port. The only issue was when I tried the 3 cell in my old Slash 4x4 VXL. It wouldn't react to any remote inputs. I had to reset it by opening the transmitter and re-linking the remote. But once that was done, it was a big improvement over the 2 cells. I wouldn't run it like that for too long without some upgrades, but man, it's a lot faster.
