Cool. Any links to the Panasonic AAA NiMH batteries?

The battery mentioned you cant really solder them because of the battery shape on the positive side. The head looks for similar to the Duracell ones you buy at the stores. Maybe the bump is too big?
There are two types of batteries. The ones that are commercially available with tabs and those industrial ones that come without tabs and flat head. The latter is easier to solder but the former is not impossible to solder either.
But when assembling your own receiver pack is concerned, I would rather get them spot welded. My 2 cents.

Rarely happens that new receiver packs just die out. If you switch off the fail safe, you could probably run a few more laps. Fail safe on the 3PK (and other fail safe units as well) kick in at 4.8 V. With 4.8V, you can still run your servos.
What I'm trying to say is the fail safe kicked in just to safe guard you and your car before anything untoward can happen. The receiver pack did not just die out. Else, the fail safe would not have worked too.
