How many amp power supply should I buy? For motor run in, charging, discharging, etc...
probably going to go with the Turbo 35 GFX or Futaba ? charger.

I use a BullDog 45 amp. It will run my turbo 30, an Indy charger and a motor lathe without any trouble at all.Its a fairly small unit so it dont take up to much bench space. Don't have their web adress but you can get them directly from Rivergate cheaper than just about anyone else. Unless you can find something simular on E Bay.
Hope that helps

You should be able to get away with a decent 30 amp power supply...I use a BullDog 30amp, and I've run 2 Turbo 35's, a LRP Pulsar charger, an Integy Zero30 discharger (Fans), and one of those Trinity Cooling Car/Battery stands...
Competition Electronics just recently came out with a sleek new charger - the Bulldog ones are "huge"...I think its a 20amp version, but it should run what you are looking for without and problems..
No matter what size Power supply you get, I'd try to be careful and NOT run a charger and a tire lathe at the same time :) you might end up with a fuse (or 2) popping :) :mad:
