Retract servos shut off upon completion of a cycle and a standard servo continues to drain power, especially if the retracts are not set up correctly. Good luck...
Correction my receiver battery is 6.0 volts. I will also be adding a SwitchGlo glow driver. Per their website it consumes 4.4 mAh per 10 seconds and takes power from the receiver battery.

Starting to think that the 2000 mAh maybe on the small side?

Your thoughts.
