Short NiCad life
Anyone usinga LiPo or some varriant in their RDS8000, I crunched a nice 450 when the TX battery died. If so what works best, can the RX handle the extra voltage, any special needs? thanks

I had a bad battery too. Just send it back and they'll replace it. Just because a few packs fail in the field this constitutes a "serious" battery problem? ATX isn't the only company to have packs fail.
