Default Nitro-car battery setup

Hi, am curious and probably many others are too about the best nitro-car electrical power set up. Most receivers take up to 7 volts max, or 4 AA batteries, which from my experience have a max possible mAH of 2600 at 1.2-1.5V, obviously nobody wants Ni-Cd, with its short capacity and memory affect, Ni-Mh seems like the ultimate since Lipo's discharge quite fast. So from my understanding 2600mAH of Ni-MH is the best effective battery solution. Now the charger... I am guessing Smart-Charger with its 3 stage process of gradual current increase inversely proportional to the voltage increase (or something like that). but what i would love to know is what makes it so competitive to other chargers out there half of its price... Is it only because of its quick charging ability? Or do the batteries actually last longer? What makes them so special and are the smart chargers worth it??? Would this electrical power setup look promising to you???[&:][&:]
