RE: AA batteries
Not to sure, but I wouldnt guess you'd get much run time. I dont think my Savage lasted 3 hours on fresh AA batteries. Make life easy and get a hump pack!! [8D]

RE: AA batteries
For high drain servo's like the 645 you need to use a good hump pack..........something like 1100mah-1400mah pack and they should last you all day.
As an extra you should also look at getting the on/off switch with the charge lead on it so you dont have to remove the pack for charging.........as its a PITA as im sure you know.
Good Luck

[link=http://www.hobbieguyrc.com/catalog/ofna_nimh_receiver_battery_charger_2772868.htm]Charger[/link] and [link=http://www.hobbieguyrc.com/catalog/ofna_1400_nimh_5_cell_hump_receiver_pack_2566145.h tm]hump pack[/link]. These are the items I bought. I felt this was the best price on the web. You might find these type of items for less in an online auction but how much less and 1400 mAH? This is a hard price to beat plus you can order now and not have to wait for an auction to end 5 days from now. This guy sells alot on ebay also. I was getting maybe 1 hour out of AA batteries and went to this hump pack and have not run out of juice yet. This slow charger takes 14 hours to fully charge the pack so a fast charger is in my future( just in case I forget to plug her in!)
