RE: tekin bc 112a

You didn't say whether they are NiMH or not, but judging from the mah I am guessing they are. don't believe the 112A had peak for NiMH built in so you would have to trickle charge them.

RE: tamiya 4000 mah 6v

If it is indeed 4000 mah I'm not sure what it's application would be. That would be very high for a receiver pack (and larger cells than normal), but at 5 cells it would be useless as a drive pack.
