(and you haven't been in a big crash until you actually bent a crankshaft as I did )

I deal with a battery pro who only does batteries and nothing else. Sells 'em, packs 'em, even contracts a factory in China to make 'em. The guy tells me over and over, don't cycle the NiMH batteries. These batteries are made not to be cycled and do not have a memory effect. Cycling is not required. It doesn't damage cells but a quality cell is only good for 500 charge iterations before the cells starts to die. Cheaper cells won't last 500. The best advice on NiMH batteries is that they are very sensitive to heat so over charging them has the potential to shorten their life as well. I typically charge my Sanyo AAA 1000mAh packs at .8A to 1.0A. If I have the time, .6A
The other factor to keep in mind is that all battery chargers are not equal. Some are a lot better than others. I've seen 'dead' battery go to 'live' battery just by adjusting a charger's settings or using a different charger. Lower priced chargers tend to cut out during a false peak and have no way to get around this problem. Typically chargers measure the output voltage of a cell during charging and once the cell reaches the typical 1.2v, charging will stop. A false peak is when the cell puts out 1.2v but is not fully charged. Some chargers can be told to ignore the false peak and keep charging.
If you notice your batteries are consistenly undercharged, your charger may also be part of the problem.

Hey Acid what is that you use over the fuel tank? I guess its there to keep fuel from splashing all over the car during refueling right?

The bateries, well I discharge first - suppose to help with keeping the charge for a long while. I use digital servo for accel/brake and hi-torqe analogue for turning.
The stuff over the fuel tank is a piece of high absorbption cloth, nothing special. Go to convenient store and you should find it in the cleaning agents section, not expensive at all. By now you would have read about all the problems guys have with electrics - so, I figure why not protect against fuel spills during pit stops Only down side, it costs you in weight, prob around 10 grams.
