| battery charging ?
I know these use AA type batts, but I don't see why we can't use our regular chargers (hobby grade) to charge up these batts since they apear to be 6 cells and are 7.2 volts. can it be done? Or if not is it because of the amperage put out by the chargers?

Others have talked about charging rates and such in a few threads. I'm an RC newb, so I can't help past that.

I would reccomend not charging above 1 amp. I charge mine at .8A (as per JIA's suggestion) and am experiencing awesome results. I am using a Phiranha Digital peak charger and have the peak detection set a 6 mv.
