RE: receiver battery?
I have an 1100 mah nimh that works well. some people may say to get a 2000 mah. due to longer run time between charges. I think mine is a dynamit 5 cell flat pack.

You know about the battery holder underneath the truck? any quality flat pack will work. I'd suggest a hump pack and either mount it to the front shock tower or some place else on the top side of the chassis. There are a number of AA rechargeables with over 2000 mah ratings, if you have a soldering iron you can make a hump pack of nice rating and smaller size.

RE: receiver battery?
that't a good idea. How do you wire them thought? Series, Paralell? how many do you use? Can you use just energizer rechargables? Maybe you have some pictures for us Grits

5x1.2v cells are used to make a 6v RX pack and are wired in series using tag connectors.If using AA's instead of 3/4 C cells,make sure that the radio box will acommodate the pack size.I only ever use upto 1500mah as anymore just isn't needed for me as a basher,racers may like the extra capacity of say 2400mah or more so they can get a days competing from one fully charged pack.AA's are now found with upto 3000mah per cell.You can make a 6v 2700mah RX pack from AA's for under £12 here in the UK.Even AAA cells are upto 1100mah capacity these days,I made a 1100mah AAA 6v RX Flat pack the other day for my Lightning GTX2 by using 5 x Vapextech 1100mah AAA cells,some single strand copper, 2-3mm from twin and earth electrical wire and a good solder station with 60/40 Tin/Lead solder,battery technology has really come on in the past few years to the RC hobbyists benefit...

RE: receiver battery?
hey probably a stupid question but, does the aftershock have the same kind of battery box as lst-lst2? the one that's on the bottom side of the truck.

RE: receiver battery?
Just make a battery pack out of duracell rechargeables. I can go through 2 bash sessions on one charge without any problems. Takes 10mins to build but it will last a long time. I got 2400 or 2500mah btw.
