Wassup fellas,
First let me start off by saying YEA TERPS!
Now that's out of the way I wanted to share the latest idea[sm=idea.gif].
I had a bunch of nice 2000mah AA batteries and a 15 min charger. Only problem was I only had 4.8v not the 6v I got with my alkaline. I don't have the cash to go out and buy a hump pack and the charger needed to get the rechargeable 6v. So I went down to Radio Shack and picked up a single AA battery holder for $.99 and some shrink tubing and wired the single holder in line with the 4x holder. Just cut the positive side of the original wiring and run the red wire from the existing 4x pack to the black wire of the single holder. then connect the red from the single holder to the positive going to the rx.
The only thing you need to be careful of that you splice in the single holder before the on/off switch. Otherwise you will be pulling current from single holder all the time.
Later,
Swede
