I think i bought most of the accessory needs. i hope no missing parts. i already ordered online.

Question about the charger.
the charger.. i ordered super brain 959
this thing can charge 1-8 AA and single cell for igniter(?) but on the picture it only shows 7.2v charger connecter(i think) and black & red clip only
how do i charge single cell and hump pack? do i need to purchase another parts for those 2? I am felling embarrassed now.. asking too many questions....

I am felling embarrassed now.. asking too many questions....

only feel embarrassed about the questions you DON'T ask...they're the ones that will haunt you further down the track...

that's an impressive list...it looks like you have all of the bases covered...as far as your cherger question, I can't offer much help, as all of my gear has it's own specific charger...my electrical outlets are all jammed full, the day before I drive...LOL

No dumb questions.

You can use this adapter to charge your receiver packs.

As for the glow plug igniter charger, I'd just use what came with the igniter itself. Safe and reliable.

for your ignitor I used the charger cable that came w/ the Ignitor, cut the line at the charger giving you plenty of length. Slap a Tamiya connector on the end and woola you now have a way to charge the ignitor w/ the 959. I have one and a couple connectors that I made to work w/ the hump like the one mentioned above, the ignitor and one for the KO radio. I charge no more than 1 amp. Usually .5 amps. Keep the batteries as cool as possible.

Is the :Venom 6-Cell 3000mAh NiMH Stick for a roto starter? Just checking..

Looks like a solid start

All of the questions and time spent waiting will be worth it when you get to go and run it.
