hey there, this is my first post. i am very new to the rc world and will have many what may be a stupid questions. i thought i read something about battery packs for transmitters. is there such a thing, if so do you recommend getting one or just using rechargeable AA's?

Thanks in advance and i have enjoyed reading all the posts. i have learned alot from them so far.

It depends upon the radio, not all have the option to use a battery pack. I use a rechargeable pack in my Futaba 3PDF.

Most of the higher end radio systems use battery packs. But pretty much all the other radio systems use AA batteries. All of my radios use AA batteries and they work just fine. Since you are new to r/c I'm guessing that you will get a RTR car/truck, and the radio system that it comes with will more than likely use AA batteries.

Thank you for the info. Yes, it will be an RTR. AA's it will be.

Just buy rechargable NiMh's and chargers to go with them. It will save you a lot of money in the end, but be an up front investment.

I agree with Wookie get some rechagable AA's.

i use rechargable nimh's in my 18t radio (stock), but the stock 18t radio can use a battery pack or 8 AA's.
