Default 6V Receiver pack issue (HELP)

I have a "new" Racers Edge Turbo 35 1600mAh NiMH Hump Receiver Pack. I gave it a full charge before using it yesterday. (over night charge) It only lasted me about 30min of driving time. (3 1/2 tanks) ????? what is up with that? It did the exact same thing today after a full charge. This is my first 6v pack. I had been using the AA pack that came with my radio and the AA's lasted much much longer than this pack did. Do I have a faulty pack? What experiences have you guys and gals had with these receiver packs when it comes to run times?

I metered it when it first started acting up and it was still reading 5v. The only problem was that I had almost no steering and the throttle was weak. (typical dead battery response)

I am using a Spektrum DX3R. any suggestions are appreciated, I am trying to get race ready by this weekend.
