Yes, all my Futaba TX have charge sockets but they all cost more each than a HL basic tank so maybe that's why their trannies don't! I don't think you'll suffer electrocution from a 7.2 DC feed and my fake and genuine B6 AC V2 chargers have a standard 4mv cutoff sensor for nihms and they always detect. Warm is normal. There are also temp sensors that can be fitted but they have to sit on the cells.
A lot of advancement has been made since nicads were the norm, both in cells and chargers, so you may have some catching up to do before purchasing. If you have a good, well stocked dedicated RC shop you can visit for a chat it would probably be worth your while. Re a charger, the B6....one mentioned above is great value, will correctly charge anything/type of cells and is very popular here (even the cheaper fakes work perfectly well - but that's a matter for your conscience!
