Two digital servos, a transponder and 2.4g could pull almost 1.5A at full lock and the AAA pack could not handle that load. The 800 mAh lipo is all I could find at that time that was a close fit. I have never had any glitches when running it and it last long enough for an hour main.
TM do have 1100mah option batteries and i own one
45mins with the same equipment load as yours attached for finals is not a problem
however, i overheard one racer do complaint about servo don't have much power. especially digital torque servos. to me, set the throttle linkage carefully till throttle servo produce minimal buzzing sound. this way u wont draw unnecessary power. imho, servo will consume more power during braking, and we dont hit the brake often rite?
