You are 100% correct in my opinion.

If the OP isn't going to new tech, he should maybe try converting his model to control line (ha ha).

I have regulated 2s batteries in every new glow or gas powered plane. Old equipment that ran on Nicd's that still test above 90% get flown as is. BUT All new battery purchases are Lipo's or Life's (I have many Li-ion's in use as well, but they will be replaced with Life's when they need replacement). Of note I will never use a Nimh again, they are ^%&#.

Bax said "The S3004 servos are intended to be used with a 4-cell or 5-cell NiCd or NiMH battery pack."

But I think it would be better put as 4.8 volts to 6.0 volts, from a technical standpoint. DC voltage doesn't care what chemistry it comes from (as far as I know).
