They are all batteries right? Or are some more powerful because they have an R/C brand name! http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

As long as they are NiCad's, everything is the same. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/cool.gif

I have a pair of 2000mah from RS that have been great. Better than my matched sony (1400s.) Best of all they were only $11 on sale! NiCd is NiCd is NiCd. Only difference is that they're not matched so you may not get the best power output. go with a higher mah for better run times.

Exactly! I just bought a 2000mah from RS for $11.95. Good practice pack. Also, I grabbed two NIMH chargers for AA's.($19.99 each) Why two? They come with 4 1500mah AA's each.. perfect for the ole M8. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif

Just checking out www.radioshack.com, (http://www.radioshack.com,) and they don't show the 2000's online. I think they're selling them away. BUT, I did find 3000mah NIMH's for 35 bucks. That's not bad! More practice packs!

www.radioshack.com (http://www.radioshack.com) is the correct website BTW (the link above doesn't work right), the UBB just added the comma on the end, which it shouldn't have...

Look around your town. They most likely have one. I live in a town with less than 5,000 people and I have one.
