Octane Stock battery charger

[Vmansavage]

Hi can anybody help me out I wanna run my new/used octane but I don’t have a battery charger what can I use or where or what to get please help

Guessing by "battery charger" you're referring to some sort of hump pack battery charger?

Page 6 of the Octane manual has the part number for the charger.

HPI#111834

There's heaps of other chargers on the market like this too. Just make sure its a NiMH charger with the correct plug.

Yup, any NiMH charger with correct voltage should work.

What kind of plug does it take? A small receiver type plug or the old tamiya larger white plug?

*Edit*

not the tamiya style.



The p/n I linked for the charger is discontinued. They just sell the charger for the roto start now, and an adapter for hump packs separately.

Charger: #115555
Adapter: #115527 or #115524

Not sure what hump packs come standard with the octane, the hump I had for my savage would have required the first adaptor I linked. It was an hpi hump pack too. I'd go with the second option, its the one I had.

This would probably cover you:

800mah output vs 300 of the HPI one.

I was thinking of the Baja 5B. I want to say it had a port on it for the old tamiya type plug that was covered with a little silicone flap.
