RE: finally!!!
Get a Duratrax Piranha Digital Peak Charger. It'll charge your RX and TX packs! And it only takes an hour or two...
Those overnight chargers hardly work on high capacity batteries like the one you're using. The $50 spent on a good charger is well worth it.

RE: finally!!!
Any 5 cell rx pack is 6 volts. You run into low voltage issues when you use rechargeable AA batteries in the 4 cell holder.
Alkaline batteries have 1.5 volts per, while NiCd, and NiMh batteries have 1.2 volts. That is why you want an extra cell in the rx pack if you go rechargeable.
