Hello all,
I have on order an Orlandoo Hunter- Jeep model.
Will the front & rear metal axle upgrade fit the Jeep? I can't find a definitive answer or any photos (of Jeep w/ metal axles).
Also, what battery charger is recommended for the Li-po 2S 7.4V 260 mAh battery?
I have in my Banggood cart- SKYRC E3 2s 3s lipo AKKU battery balance charger AC-DC 110v-240v.
Is there a charger with safety shut-off when battery is fully recharged?
Thank you for any help!

Banggood recommends a "pull rod upgrade" for the metal axle upgrade, but the axle upgrade is only listed for the F150.
I've read some posts and/or youtube vids where some rods are not the correct lengths with the axle upgrade.

The battery charger Banggood recommends didn't make sense to me- it didn't look like it worked with wall socket outlet.

Specs for the charger you listed:

AC Input:100-240VC,50-60Hz
Battery Type: LiPo
Cell Count: 2-3 cells
Charge Current: 1.2A Max
Cell Terminate Voltage: 4.2V ± 0.02V
Circuit Power: 11W ± 10%
Dimension: 88x57x35mm
Weight:103g
Package Included:

1xSKYRC E3 Charger
1 x Power Cable
1 x Plug Adaptor to suit your Country

I would not leave batteries charging without being close by keeping an eye on them! That charger will work and is set to shut off at 4.2 volts per cell +-0.02 volts, and it comes with country specific wall plug.

I like Hitec X2 AC Plus charger, much better and way more versatile. I always put lipos in sack and set on non-flammable surface while storing or charging.

That is because the Jeep/short wheelbase and F150 chassis use different length links in most spots.
 
Hi Natedog
Thank you very much for checking in and responding.
The Cell Terminate Voltage info, advice with batteries, and personal charger recommendation is sincerely appreciated!

I placed the order for the SKYRC charger and axle upgrade. With the axles I am hoping they will function with the other stock parts. I'm looking forward to some of the challenges.

I'm really interested in a particular body (early 1980s Toyota land cruiser) that I can't find in 1/35 or 1/36 scale. I have a 1/43 diecast. I see some 1/43 versions with material of: resin; I don't know anything about the resin but assume it is preferred for weight (& servo performance?). I've spent some hours websurfing for custom body options but have had no real leads.
----- Are there any individuals or companies that create custom RC bodies? -----

Lastly I'm about to start on some sort of indoor crawler run. I'll take some pics. And I look forward to sharing experiences with some of ya'll !!

Thanks again!!
