I picked up a rechargeable battery combo at Sam's Club the other day. They are Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries. It seems that these batteries die faster than my Ny-cads, and the steering servo quits working first. Anyone else experience this?

What is the mah rating for the pack?

They are individual AA batteries. I read the batteries for the first time and it says '1.2V-1850 mAh' on the battery. Interesting, 1850 mAh should last a long time, but it looks like I have dropped from 6V to 4.8V. Does the voltage drop affect the steering servo operation?

The servo will have less power and act slower. Hey, I'd rather the steering go out before the throttle then the other way around.

You can make it into a 5 pack, as most people like to do, I'd rather just run 4 batteries since fully charged they are about 1.6 volts anyway, just like a regular AA battery.
