Good for you, I tried some of their products (M6, M7, M9 and lastly the MC8 checker) and all of them developed issues after a while. Their customer service is everything but helpful.
Thx Lee! Looks like a nice charger. I still have my ISDT 1000wt T8 charger. It doesn’t have an AC input so I have to use a $20 ac dc converter at home. Looking forward to the price.
nice bit of kit, i wish manufactures would realise that some people use above 6s batteries for rc applications and xt90 connections but small gripe as this would suit most people. 200 dollars seems a tad pricey.
Great information Lee. I have the toolkits M6AC for 2 yrs now and works well for me. Just started looking for another charger for on the bench so I can leave my M6 in my flight box. Like the idea it can charge 4 packs at a time and it can also be use for bench power supply for testing etc. As below it does look a little pricey (BANG for $280 US grrrrrr) I need to keep shopping I guess. Once you have had it for a few months perhaps you can come back and make recommendation on what charger you might recommend considering cost etc. Have a great weekend Lee.
I am very happy with my current setup with 2x iChargers and a ToolkitRC M6D (2 ports @15A each) powered by a Dell server PSU. However, this has sort of evolved over the years and your review unit is exactly what I would buy if I was starting again. I find myself wanting it anyway!! I really like the ToolkitRC interface which makes my 4 button iChargers feel archaic! The percentage readout makes the lack of simultaneous channel displays perfectly OK. I do think the lack of ability to discharge back into a supply battery is an oversight but that would not stop me buying it.
@@dslfrk59 Everything in my setup is DC buty the Dell server PSU turns AC into 60A DC and feeds all the chargers (2 @ 10A and 2 channels on the other @ 15A = 50A max). It's a setup that has evolved over time (it used to just be the two iChargers and a converted PC PSU). Obviously, it's not as neat as some of the AC powered 4 port units you can buy now but has other advantages: 1) The only charger that has ever died on me did so because it was the AC to DC bit that burnt out 2) DC only chargers are generally cheaper and can also go to the field as a field charger 3) server PSU's are extremely powerful, single rail devices that can be found for hardly any money because they are swapped out every 2 or 3 years as a precaution and 4) there are no limits on any of my charge channels (eg the SkyRC 4 port one can run all 4 ports at once but some not at a very high current). I wrote more reply than you asked for in case it's useful info for anybody else
Awesome video as always. I was looking on you tube for a video on setting up a radiomaster boxer with a rc car using expressLRS and there aren't any. Is it possible you can make one? I would like to use my boxer radio for my fpv quads and rc cars so i don't have to carry so many radios. Thank you for all you do for the fpv community, always appreciated.
@@Painless360 BTW, I have installed a Walksnail Avatar system on my 1/8 scale RC Arrma Typhon 3S buggy model and its so awesome and cool. This takes fpv rc cars to another level. 😎
This looks like a super useful piece of kit. One question - how fast/loud is it when returning batteries to storage charge? I have a cheap dual charger, and it takes forever to return batteries to storage, and in winter I find I don't get a chance to fly all my batteries each Sunday. Thanks for all the awesome content.
I've so far not had great luck with ToolkitRC reliability. The form factor, user interface, and features are great. Unfortunately the units I have purchased have both bricked in a pretty short amount of time. It's most disappointing as I really want to like their products.
I've never had a ToolkitRC charger that has made it into my own kit, until now. Only time will tell how well it holds up, but, I like it! Happy flying l

Fantastic looking charger indeed!!!

Can this do 15amps on all 4 ports with a/c power or only with external dc power supply

@@Painless360 Ok, thank you so much, i wasn't aware you had made these. Awesome.

Great review, thanks! It looks a bit like a Tesla Cybertruck.
Will design and print a wheel stand if I bought it 😀
We will see these available to buy in a few months! $200.00 US seems a bit much. The market is flooded with less expensive options.
I’m still using the IMAX B6 for the last 3 yrs but I may upgrade at some point haha 🎉

I would strongly suggest in investing in a dedicated discharger. I really like the SkyRC BD250..
Hi, nice review! Do you see new SkyRC Q200neo? It´s 4 port charger too.
Nice charger. Cheers 🎉
I am thinking about buying one of these to replace an old Hitec that seems to be on its last leg. How is is the Q6AC holding up for you so far?
So far, so good!
@Painless360 I just placed an order for one. Thanks for everything you do for the hobby Lee.
Can it charge 6s 3000mah at time with a wall plug safely ? It would a DC current work better
Should be fine... Happy flying
How does it charge 1s lipos? Do I still need a board?
I'd expect you'd still need a board. I use th-cam.com/video/YrxkkwDOi1A/w-d-xo.html
Missed opportunity for a touch screen.
If only if it could do individual 18650 / 21700s.
Can it charge 4 lipo batteries all at 15amps on a/c power?
Do you have 4 15,000mah 4s packs?
@@Painless360 I have 6 7500 4s that can charge at 2c so yes I can use all 4 ports at 15amps
Wow! I don't have a way to test that here.. If it works, let me know!
@@Painless360 ok I tested with a 24v 1000watt dc power supply and yes it will do 4 4s lipos at 15amps each.
Good regards

Time will tell how it holds up. This is the first charger from them that I've been happy to use as a main unit..
Toolkit quality control is nah 👎🏼. Good review mate. Keep well

HAHA. It looks like a mini tesla cybertruck
yes, just take 4 RC mini car off-road tires and affix to wheel well markings on the side and take a picture.
