Default How about Nimh?

That's only on high current applications, like electric motors. Read more about it Here

They work just great on lower current applications like a Sledge with 5 servos.

'Fraid not. 700 Mah is 700Mah, NiCad or NiMh. The only thing you gain is less weight.

Chuck, I've got 2.5 inch foam wheels that are about half the weight of the foamies that Morris gives you. ...
That is impressive..the wheels that came with my Sledge are the lightest tires I've see, and I've seen 'em all.
