Default losing power.............

i just added weight to my wheels not much but some extra, my rigs weight is at just under 8 pounds and is a tuber....i noticed that when in a bind my motor doesn't have the juice it used to have to get out of the bind....i also noticed my steering servo doesn't have the power either in a bind that it used to either....this happed with 3 different battery packs, but they have been sitting idle for over a week when i used them last....they are 8 cell elite 2/3 1500's nimh and i know they lose some juice when they sit....my other componets are....

drop down a tooth or 2 on the pinion gear should help, more weight= more power needed to turn the tires

Top off your packs be fore you go and A few cycles won't hurt them, just listless from not crawling for a week or so ,some of those 1500's had some bad cells so that might be the culprit.
