I see. So my high quality 5000 mah stick may be defect. Alright, I will return it to the shop later. Tonight I will run my Hornet, then afterwards I will discharge the battery in my charger, and recharge it at 500 A for a *very long time*.

I've bought a *genuine* B6 v2, waiting for it to arrive so I can compare. If my little local shop tricks me with cheap chinese quality, I will become very angry at them.

Haha, nice video with the wrench there. Certainly it teaches about the plus and minus.

I have been looking at a imax b6ac but there's that many fakes about
You don't know what you are buying they say genuine but for the price
I don't know

Ask to Jonny Retro. HE adviced my buy for my B6

my graupner ultramat 14+ is exacly the same as a B6. including the 4amp power supply inside
the b6 is a good charger but the display wil get messed up and the power supply to feed it is sucks but it is cheap
Graupner is German and should be better than China of watever
this will be the next charger i buy soon!

Thank you very much for your tip there, Poebe. The UCT 50-5 looks like a really super charger, kind of the the same operating basics as the B6 with all its clones, ... but the UCT 100-6 looks even better. I am looking at Conrads webpage and I am impressed. Very impressed.

I see that Conrad also has a B6-lookalike, the VOLTCRAFT V-Charge 50 12 V. And it can go up to 7 Amps!
Look : www.conrad.se/M...pi=1416554

And look at VOLTCRAFT V-Charge 100 Duo 12 V ! It can charge two batteries at once!

Now I need to buy myself some GOOD chargers! Thanks for all tips and info on everything!

I've been having tons of fun with my Hornet, .. or Grasshopper, or whatever 'it' has become since I bought the Grasshopper body for my Hornet. I just couldn't handle the "Black Hornet", in the evenings after work as I race on the football field nearby the lights from the road, the field spotlights, every lightsource is reflected in my Hornet's mirror-glossy body. It looked like a sparkling comet blazing in any direction. Now, with the normal white grasshopper body, I can see the difference between front and rear, makes it easier to steer from a distance.

.. where do I post pictures? Here in my thread, or in a "showroom" somewhere?

You could put the photos on here

And make your own showroom in a new topic.

!! Right, ofcourse, this is the charging-thread. I have a buggy-thread.

Be carefull with cold temps. Plastics have some humidity. Freezed plastics=> brocken plastics

Hi Sting, what's happening? And thanks for your warning. Unless it's below freezing, that would be below 0*C, I'm not driving anything but my slightly larger scale 1:1 Peugeot 107.

OH! - I bought a charger.. Whew, and what a CHARGER! I hope it arrives alright, I want to wait presenting it untill I have it, I don't want to jinx anything. It looks like something from Star Trek. Can you guess?
