My batteries are done..cant get a pack soon enough.The hobbyshop says I could buy 8 nimh 1800mah AA's,charge them with my proper 4 hour fast charge designed for these batteries put them into a cartridge and plug them into the transmitter.is this a no-no,or is this acceptable? These are the same batteries I use in my digital camera.

As a power source the NiMH's are fine in Tx's. It's also nice when the Tx has a low voltage alarm to keep you ahead of any *ahem* 'problems'.

What would worry me more than anything else would be the cheezey plain steel- pushed against plain steel springclip connection that a loose cell caddy usually uses in this kind of setup.

Ever have a flashlight that wouldn't work right unless you shook it and smacked it?

Plain steel contacts truly suck! As a temporary measure your rig will get yah by, but get a real pack and use a gold contact system connector as soon as possible.

Cheers!

hey thanks! thats cool.
I plan on getting a real pack as soon as possible.I just want to get some airtime tomorrow.Thanks again
