Can you use eight 1.2v rechargeable batteries to run the motors instead of 1.5v alkaline batteries? The alkalines drain fast.

Yes you can, use 8 good quality nickel metal hydride batteries. common on amazon for 8.00 per 4 pack. works fine in my scope.

Sorry, but I cannot answer this, as I have never tried other than alkaline batteries.

Yes this would be acceptable. If you use 1.5 alkaline batteries, you can only use 5, must use 1 dummy battery, essentially a short. Transmitter will refuse to operate on 9 volts. Dummy battery listed on internet -- maybe listed as Zero volt, about $1.00 from China.

This case is designed to use six rechargeable AA batteries, not six alkaline AA batteries. The radio uses 7.4 volts [A] 6 rechargeable batteries x 1.2 volts = 7.2 volts (charged to the max it might give you 1.275 volts each = 7.65 volts) 7.2 - 7.65 volts is just fine, will work. [B] 6 alkaline batteries x 1.5 volts = 9.0 volts (brand new batteries might give you 1.6 volts each = 9.6 volts) 9.0 - 9.6 volts is way over-powered, wont work. [C] 5 alkaline batteries (+ 1 dummy) x 1.5 volts = 7.5 volts (brand new batteries might give you 1.6 volts each = 8.0 volts) 7.5 - 8.0 volts just makes the top limit (8.0142 volts) on power overage. The real difference between [A] and [C] is the mAh capacity; the alkaline's will always give you more because of chemistry design (longer lasting).

No, it will run on AA batteries (6, I believe, for the 8-channel one I bought). They lasted quite a while for me, but I don't use it much. I bought the adapter for extended sessions. It's a REALLY good adapter, but it's not necessary to use the machine.

ALSO, if you use rechargeable AA's, which are 1.2v instead of 1.5v, you get 9.6v out of 8 AA's. Ingenious way to potentially utilize rechargeable AA's in a 9V device!

We were using a motor shield and could run 3 motors with a 9 volt. They're supposed to be like 3.5v each, you can run it by just hooking it up to the 9v. Careful with too much current (amps), that's what will fry it.

Hobbyking.com 2 6s lithium batteries wired in series for 48v but i run 2 8s bateries and i run 35mph+

yes, if the batteries you are using are lithium, the alkaline dont like cold, lithiums dont care, if you cannot find lithium C cells, you can get 1.5 v AA lithium, and use C adapter. will last just as long, relatively the same price

I use 4 AA nickel metal hydride batteries, and it drains them fairly quickly, but they do work. Hope this answer helps.

I believe that is a 3.6V battery, and you will need at least 5V to drive the motors properly. So, connecting two or more of them of them in series should work. I found that a 9-12V source with a speed controller (so the final voltage to the motor is 6-8V) works well.

Yes of course. I just liked the rechargeable version I had previously. Obviously, you could use rechargeable batteries as well. It was just nice to have it all-in-one and not need the rechargeable batteries (or normal batteries) as extra.

It depends on how much juice you're willing to pump through the motors. They've got quite a kick with a 9-volt attached, but they'd probably burn out fairly quickly. Running on a low-watt cell is rather underwhelming. I didn't buy them for aircraft modeling, so I can't really say for sure, though.

It runs only with an electric rechargeable built in battery that cannot be replaced. It runs at 110 volts and the charging is wireless on a mini stand via induction system so as can be charged in wet environment. I hope that this information will help you. Personal i would recommend you the other model that uses two AA batteries. Alkalines not necesary rechargeable. It lasts for a very long time the alkaline ones too.

If by regular batteries you mean non-RAM alkalines, in my experience they will charge, with reduced capacity (it seemed to get worse each charging). I personally don't find it worth recharging them in price comparison with RAM or NiMH batteries that can be charged hundred of times and still hold a good charge.To answer your questions more directly. Works as well as can be expected on non--RAM alkalines. I wouldn't charge them more than twice. You are better off with batteries designed to be recharged.

You can use them but they won't last very long, it's best to use deep cycle batteries that can be discharged many times, I personally use 6 volt batteries in series to get 12 volts. The more you have the better.

I'm guessing the answer is no. If you are referring to the same rock crawler I looked up, it takes 3 AA batteries. At about 1.5V per battery, that comes to about 4.5V total. This is an 11.1V battery, which will be way too much voltage. It's difficult in general to replace AA or AAA batteries with lithium versions because of the difference in voltage. You could try using a single cell lithium battery, the voltage may be too low (3.7-4.2V) but you could try. Do a search for "1s lipo" or "3.7V lipo" and avoid the tiny ones. If you know the mAh rating of your current batteries, try to match or exceed that with a new battery. Keep in mind you need a battery charger for these batteries.

There is no reason why they should not. I recall reading an article that suggests which type of battery to use. Rechargeable is best when the battery will be used more heavily. Alkaline when they will sit unused for long periods of time.
