RC Car Charger Comparison Newbie Help?
I am having a little problem with choosing the best peak charger for me. One of these charger is a little more expensive but that won’t be an issue if its a good quality charger. I’m going to use these chargers to charge a 2s 5000MaH Li Po battery and I want the safest way to do so. Charger one is a:
Onyx 230

And charger two is:
MRC Super Brain 989
http://www.rcplanet.com/MRC_Super_Brain_…
Forgive me if anything is wrong with my question (Links, etc) This is my first time on Yahoo Answers 
A recap on questions
1. What is better of the two chargers? Or are both fine, explain (Detail, spec, features).
2. Is a Li Po battery an OK choice for a person starting RC cars? Explain why or why not.
3.What are some precautions I can take to prevent a fire? (from the battery)
4. Approximately how long a run time can a 2c 20cc 5000 MaH battery last in a Traxxas Rustler VXL?

yes lipo’s are fine for you to start with just read the manuals you get with the stuff
don’t panic about fire only people that think they know everything have trouble read.
run times are based on how you run it any place from 15-25 min’s
