I checked the output , and the stick (5 cells) was putting out far more than 4 new duracell dry batteries , which powered the servos better , so i changed back to the 27 meg old gear that i used before in the ts4n , and the metal gear servos worked perfectly with the stick pack , the radio gear i have just bought was a 2.4gig core set up so the problem must lie in the new radio , perhaps i need to spend decent money on radio ?
yes the stick pack was still cold after i disconnected them from the charger after giving them the required 22.5 hour charge , but still put out more the the dry cells
