Ok, so Bankrupt and I were running our trucks this weekend, and the twitchy steering servo popped up again. Through a process of elimination it turned out to be the receiver batteries. Once the batteries were replaced, the truck steered fine.

So my question is, what should the average life expectancy of the average "Double A" battery in a Savage, taking in to consideration that both the steering and throtle servos have been upgraded.

The next day, I'd say after a good 4 to 5 hours of running the trucks, the twitchy servo reapeared.

So, tell me, is this normal?

KP.
