Oh - and I just came back from a vintage meet where I went with 5 cars... 3 brushed, 2 brushless. The only ones that let me down were the brushed. the brushless kept ticking all day... food for thought

Your power supply is still good if it works. 30 amps is plenty for just having fun. That Onyx battery suggests you shop at Tower Hobbies. Any of the 200 series Duratrax Onyx chargers there will work. Even the 110 is handy. The 225 and 245 will also LiPos if you ever decide to go there.

I actually have a 110, 200, 225 and 245. (I have three boys...) All of these are AC/DC so you can use them with or without your PS. The 110 can only charge at 2 amps from AC but if you use the power supply it can charge at 4 amps. (about 45 minutes to charge that 3000mAh battery you have)
