Is this on anybody else's shopping list or even heard about? I did a little reading about it on somewhere and was quiet amazed about its charging capability and how it managed to bring life into some old packs, one guy commented how he got 5mins run (less or no punch) but still got 5mins out of it where he was only getting 3mins previously before using this charger? www.spintec.nl/ICC.shtml   Im not 100% Sure as i dont have the latest 30amp model of the Pro-track but not even that could do what the spintec does in its unique fashion? Im impressed and think this could be on my shopping list, acutally it is amongst many others ;D |

have read many articles about it in dutch magazines (it's from a dutch manufacturer)
and it is indeed a brilliant charger, only very very expensive...

Distributed in the UK by Helger, link for spintec, www.spintec.nl/index.shtmlThey already distribute the spintec battery manager in the uk, available from dms-racing. The battery manager has been doing the rounds for about a year now. |

Just got confirmation from my LHS that they will be selling them around $380 USD (or maybe slightly less, depending on final cost) ... scheduled to be available June 21st or thereabouts.
'nuff said,

I wont be in no mad rush to get these as with using new cells, i think a couple of protrak's would do fine for a while then probably by then when the dust has settled ill be able to get my hands on one then and use its unique functions to greater effect  |

'Does it do Lipo's?' ain't that the question to be asking - or don't you think Lipo will be making an impact for a while yet?

At the moment with 5 minute races you don't really need 3700 cells let alone 4200/4300, Lipo is expensive and at the moment an underdeveloped technology. give it some time though. Lipo chargers at the moment work with the cells of the moment. What do you gain from Lipo cells?
Also you seem to gain more runtime from brushless than from the cells you run, look at effeciency first before power. European cars vs US cars...............

I dont think Lipo would be any threat to the NIMH's for a long while yet, and with the BL being around and be here to stay makes it hard for lipo to really break it into rcracing. Lipo's has it uses for the bashing and basher's. Now if for some reason racing was made to last for more than 10mins then maybe Lipo's will play an important part but before then, Nimhs will do  |

The one next to the police station, just to see how good you really are ;D I guess the race is between you and (yokomo mx4) who gets it first, let us know how you guys get on? |
