I had been looking into making a charging bunker, combed the net, grabbed the old ammo can intended for a geocache, then it hit me, I have a perfect bunker and it cost me nothing as it was a curbside freebie.

Thought I would use it to smoke but haven't t yet, so it's repurposed until I need it to smoke, or a battery goes off and it will become a permanent bunker.

Exactly my thought. Despite being told that I made every rookie mistake because I didn't go right out and get the best gear, I am taking the steps to be ready once I get going into hobby grade stuff and glad I have been researching and find I really haven't make rookie mistakes.

I felt a little silly putting my 4 little 3.7/750 in an ammo can, but I did it anyway - if only to start a good habit before I get more and bigger batteries.

I don't know any one that buys all the best when they start a hobby your need a big bank balance and how would you know what's the best for you , a shop will tell you this is the best but that's just there opinion

This was a guy I met when invisited a hobby shop who has enough of an account that he has an impressive setup. I understand that he was trying to help me not make mistakes he made but what he got bent about was that I decided to buy another Cx-30w (for a controller not received on the other) first before I poured into the hobby grade items in his list. So he seems to have written me off as a fool.

Tomorrow I'll be ordering a Taranus Qx7, just a few weeks later than he would have liked, lol.

You get the items in the order you want , I will say this my mate wanted a quad and has never flown before so I gave him 6 brand new quads including the syma cx 30w and he lost all 6 in to a farmer's field in less than a week and still has not found one of them just think how much that would had cost he if had to buy them
So take your time learn to fly then get the better items

So many options, this makes my head hurt.

The above item looks good but some of the reviews (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0757JK2Y...olid=18E0F1ZDTGHHB&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it), primarily one in regards to voltage settings makes me wonder. Also, you have to buy the plug separately.

I am also looking at this option because it is a kit, with everything included and it came recommended from a lipo guide I was reading:

It's has a mixed feedback but any item can be faulty when you get it , imax chargers are good but make sure it's a real one of will have a hologram on the back see if you can find an imax mini , your need a power pack to run it but does not do single cell your need a board to charge them

I salvaged a computer power supply to make one but had a falling out with the guy who was going to help me make it.
