Default battery pack

4 AA x 1.5v = 6v are fine as long as they are NOT rechargeables. Rechargeables are they are 1.2v only, giving u 4.8v. Your steering servo will tell u under 4.8v what u get for that and 6v what u get.

That's another adv of going electric,dun need another 6v battery packs, lightens my buggy !! paypal me and i'll sell u mine, only used it like a dozen times ...

I use a spektrum digital servo and same thing happens...i think under load or speed, ur wheels can't turn as fast anyway, jus like a real car...otherwise, it would flip very quickly ...

eg) when u pick it up off the ground, it turns freely, when u put it down, it doesn't turn...jus like a parked car w/no power steering....
