battery up grade

[destroyer]

have a 1/6 scale fg monster truck with a 6 volt reciever and I find that the battery pack does not provide enough power to turn those big wheeles and run the other servos. I am chargeing the 6 volt battery pack allthe time and getting about 5 minutes running time.
Is there a way to up grade the battery pack to 7.2 volts?
Will the servos on the truck have to be replaced?
Thankyou

Sounds like the battery pack has had it. Get a new 6v pack but go for something like a 4500mah which will give you more run time than you need.

Out of interest, what steering servos do you have?

Destroyer, welcome to FSF.
How good is the servo saver as well?
May not be as simple as just changing the battery.

If you do change, and you have a compatble charger, you could consider one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-6v-4200...sGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item564911f8df

If you don't have a LiFe charger, then look on the same site - they make Mike1970-approved NiMH receiver batteries; there's the 4500 and the 5000mAh NiMH.
