			I am on my first scratch build of a Cat 330b 1/14 scale. I am at the stage of buying a battery and charger, the more I search the net the more I am confused. I am looking at a Turnigy ultimate 7500mah 2s2p, 7.4 Lipo. I have four esc's. two for tracks, one for swing and one for pump motor. The pump motor is a 560kv 10 turn motor, with a 90amp brushless esc. A 7.4 volt lipo will give me pump rpm of 4144 with direct drive. Am I looking in the right direction or am I missing something? 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Terry  |

			When your 2s lipo is fully charged the voltage will be 8.4v, pump will be running closer to 4700rpm... what pump are you using? 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I bought another one of these chargers through this site last night. Lots of times I'm charging 2 or 3 batts at once, sometimes 4. http://www.robotshop.com/ca/en/x4-ac...i-charger.html

			Thanks for your reply Lil Giants, I have the pump from rc4wd, don't know who makes it probably China.  I can lower the pump speed through the radio channel.

			I would try to get just a 2s, skip the 2p as they don't balance well.  Go straight 2s.  Turnigy has done me very well. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	My preference for a charger is the I-Charger Duo. You can charge up to 10s per side of the charger, balance, monitor the impedence over time to be able to tell when a battery is going south. They are expensive chargers, but many believe they are the best out there.  |

			Thanks for the info Jack3M, it really helps to get suggestions from experienced builders.
