exactly what i need! the 7.2v pack just doesn't make it work right all the time.
Transmitters that ran on 8 cellsare looking for between 9.6 (if you use 1.2 V rechargeable batteries) and 12 V (alkalines), so I'm surprised your 7.2 V solution worked at all.
You should be able to find one of these locally.
If not, you can probably find a used Traxxas TQ radio system for pretty cheap. A buddy of mine says he picks them up on ebay for $10+/-.
