Franklyn,
Hi from a fellow Navy vet (HM-1). Well, you could do that but I would be concerned about weight. The Lindberg PT's I have had all have had weight management issues (don't we all) I would think it would be better to purchase one battery pack and use that. Tower Hobbies or any reputable hobby shop can help you there. The newest packs have a 5000Mah rating so it would be equivalent to 5 of the radio shack batterys. Here is but one example, there are tons of them to choose from

Using one battery pack would certainly keep the weight to a manageable level and would greatly simplify wiring the old PT up. Not to mention, if you bought a couple of them you could swap them out and double your run times.
Pete
