If you have digital servos, I'd recommend getting a 4 or 5 cell pack made from A size cells or 4/5 A size cells (not AA). I'd only use AA cell packs with standard servos. In general, if you are using digital and/or high torque servos, get A cell packs, they have a much higher current draw capability than AA cells.
Here's a link showing several different cell sizes. The Elite 2000 is a 4/5A cell that will make a good pack for running digital and/or high torque servos.

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)?
