pkh,

Thanks for the insight, but let me clarify something:assuminga 4.8V battery back has a sufficient charge, would there still be reason for concern? Icertainly undertand the issue if the batterywere low on charge, causing the voltageto dropbelow the shut-down setting of the receiver.

You mentioned this could be an issue without a "propperly sized battery pack." Given the system information that Ihave provided, can you please make a recommendation of what type/size of battery to use (what Iam planning on using is a 4.8V1100 NiMH pack, the servos are all digital)?
