transmitter/reciever batteries questions.....
I have a 9.6v nicd batt pack that I used in a cheapo R/C. Would I be able to rig the Traxxas TQ transmitter to use my rechargable pack in it instead of alkalines? Also, I have some 1000mah rechargable AAs that I would like to use in the reciever. How long would these provide power to the reciever? Thanks in advance for any replies!

RE: transmitter/reciever batteries questions.....
No, the layout would be different. Typical 9.6v packs are 4 AA's across and 2 high - Most Transmitters either use 2 tall brick or 8 horizontally in a row.
You can use the rechargeable AA's, but there are much better ones out there. Energizer has 2500 mah AA's that can be recharged in as little as 30 minutes. I use those in all of my controllers.
The 2500's last me several days of running (I recharge them after approx 5-6 hours of running). It only takes an hour and I don't want to risk low Tx batteries.
If you really want a rechargable pack, they are out there and are usually specific to your radio.
