RE: What charger should i go for for the $$$ VALUE
look with the chargers the have today dont get a regular charger (non-lipo) get one that does it all incase you upgrade batteries there very close in price...... personal choice would be the ice but the triton jr is even better i use kokam its very small like 6x4 inches and .25 thick and charge any battery exept a123 cells and i can charge 3 at once you could also look at orion clubman chargers or if your a racer hard core get the venom and you can use it with a pc, just a few to list but if you have a budget stick with it like the ice would be a very good choice

RE: I'm a bit confused about Nicads.
it all depends on what your using them for and the warmer they are the better they charge and better run times when they charge at 4 amps or more dont use a charger that pulses you could contact any nicd manufacturer and they tell you the same

just get the vxl from your friend and they trinity speedgem brushless it a tunable motor you can adjust the timing with a 2s lipo you'd be just fine 50 for esc you say, 60 for speedgem (i say) vs 60-70 for vxl motor.... you can tune the speedgem for about the same price and you can increase speed when you want by turning the endbell........[size=6] remember the faster you go the more you break [/size]
