Get some rechargeable AA batteries and a charger. It will save you a pile in the end.

But is there an actual battery pack made for it?

Doesn't look like tower sells one. Does the design of the battery compartment lend itself to sticking a pack in? Is there a connector there for one?

Is there a reason why you want a pack instead of using loose Nimh cells? The packs are generally nicad, and are therefore lower capacity. They are more expensive as well. You could likely get two sets of loose cells for the price of one pack.

I run rechargeable AA in my TX and a battery pack for my receiver. A good battery pack for the receiver is much better then AA batteries of any kind. Makes your servos much faster and have more torque.

Do you have a link for a battery pack that would fit my reciever?

What vehicle is this. It's more a matter of what battery configuration will fit best.
