I just placed an order for a Chaos 600E this morning and I am super excited! This will be my first build so I am sure I will have plenty of questions to come!

OK first question....I'm getting ready to order my batts and charger. Which do everyone recommend? I will be doing 6s. Also is there anything I need to get going besides whats in the super combo, my tx and rx, and battery and charger?

will need a seperate BEC for max safety and I would suggest going big on the charger (please take that last bit of advise as coming from an impatient new guy) I don't like to wait for things to charge so I am looking at the icharger 310 which will charge at 30a/1000w
assuming I understand everything that should charge a 6s 5000mah battery in about 20 minutes

typo icharger 306B - price is $159 and you will need to provide a power supply - planning to use a 600w/24v/25a power supply

ok well I ended up getting the 208b and the p350 power supply...looks like it should be plenty for me. Seems like everyone is happy with the icharger line. Also ordered a turnigy 6s 5000 mah 25c from hobbyking.

Bird will be here tomorrow! I'm pumped! I sure hope it comes with the polished head,,,read a few places it didn't come with it when it was supposed to. I even sent a note saying to make sure it's the correct polished one. Gotta have the bling!

I bought the Turnigy Mega 200Wx2 Battery charger/discharger (400w) V2 ...link www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=17753and the 540 watt PSU (220-240v ) ...link www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=17755I could not be happier with both apart from the fans on charger being a bit loud but that will be sorted soon. It will charge 2 * 6 cell batteries at 8.5 amps each ( 400 watt ) which I think is enough for me.You can up the PSU voltage and get more but you may be pushing it. The batteries are only 2 c charge rate whick is 10 amps so its a safe margin. A lot of people charge their batteries as quick as they can then complain when the battery life ends shortly. When one battery is full I can charge my 450 batteries or TX or MCPX while the other still charges. No-one has just one battery. So if you have one charger ouput you still have to go back to the charger and change the battery every so often. With two chargers you cut that in half! lol Hope this helps......best of luck with the new bird.....
