So I'm tired of runnin thru AA's for the RX on my Tornado s30... And I dont have enough $$ for the hump pack.. So i salvaged a nimh pack outta one of my old toy grade helis... Its 7.2v nimh... Now i know I'm only running 6v with the AA's...will the extra 1.2v damage my RX or servo's? Not sure how many mA the battery is but the charger for it says DC7.2v=400mA.. Sorry for the noobish question but alas I'm a noob! Heres a pic of battery and charger..

That pack will not plug into your receiver or your switch due to the connector that's on there. You're going to need to change that connector if you want it to work. These hump packs work great and are very good for the money if you can afford them:

Would this be a decent wall charger for those hump packs you listed above?

That should work if you have that type of connector on your hump pack. Be advised that it is a slow charger and will usually take several hours to charge the pack.
