best battery pack to buy?

That will fit into my stock battery compartment with no mod? Something in a 5000MAH range?

adds a lil punch to your servos.

those battries are a good idea. Another part that will help is called a direct servo harness. Look at your reciever. You will see the plugs from the servos. There are 3 wires. +,-, and a control wire. It is not logical to run the +,-. wires tru the reciever. This is quite a lot of current to be flowing tru the tiny printed circut board. The direct servo bypass- bypasses the +,-. wires out of the reciever circut- It feeds the d-c power directly from the battery -to the servos.- Only the control wire is going tru the reciever. On the cats, there is plenty of room in the radio box for this harness to fit. This is sold for 12 dollars. I purchase these from TGN in Califorina.- Team Go Nads. Look for this harness in the electronics area in this TGN website.

You might want to consider a lipo receiver pack. It wakes up those servos.

Yea, thats the way to go. Huge weight savings, voltage regulation-- Digital servos require lots of current- way more than analog. Ones gotta wonder if some of the servo glitching posts i see here are because of our monster servos pulling so much power away from the reciever that it goes under voltage and is causing these glitches?- just an un-educated guess.

I use the killer RC like RCDAD never have a problem

Not be rude and jump in on someones thread but what is needed to convert over to Li-Po or Life-Po. Wanting to convert over to get better response on my servos.

I have read that that some have ran the 645 and the 5755 on 7.4 volts. I'm not sure how long they would last. You don't want to run a regulator because then the servos only get the 6 volts. It's the higher voltage that gives the punch.

I upgraded my servos to the 5685 & 5765. Page 2 http://www.redcatrampageforum.com/showthread.php?t=8619

Yeah, I'm not quite ready to kick NiMH's to the curb. They get the job done.
