the original charger that comes with it will work, but will take probably around 4 hours or so to charge it. I suggest a peak charger with a variable charge rate.....atleast one that can charge at 1amp rate.

I use the MRC SuperBrain 959 for mine. You'll need an HPI Micro connector adapter though. They can be found at most hobby shops that sell the MicroRS4 or Mini-T (since Losi sells an adapter as well).

What is the highest Amp rate you can charge the MQ battery at? I have two IntelliPeak charges (Pulse and a Deluxe Pulse) that can charge NiMhs but I don't want to over heat the batteries by charging them at a super high amp rate.

The 1100s should be fine at 1 or 1.5amp. I wouldn't go past 1amp on the stock 600mah pack.
