Brett,
How many servos are you talking about?? You have to be carefull when going to a higher voltage pack. Higher voltage does not equal longer capacities. Usually higher voltage will give you more power in the servo as well as faster response times. But most times higher voltage will drain the battery faster. If you want more capacity you want to get a battery with a higher MaH (milliamp hour) rating. This will give you more run time with your system.

Yeah, thats why I was looking at the 2000mah pack. Biggest I got now is 1100. It has 7 servos total, 2 being flaps and rudder. I thought I would use 6V for a little more umph on the control surfaces. I plan on using a micro servo for the throttle to save weight and power. Gonna go to the Realm tomorrow and see what they got on the shelf.

I am a little leary about using ebay packs without a known brand name, I've invested a lot more money and time than usual in this plane and want a name brand pack for my own personal peace of mind.
