I'd say this is one of the best uses of free time I've seen from anyone lately!

I am very interested, I have a DX5e. I won't use Nimh, because it drops to below 5V pretty quickly. This was a concern for range, so I have been feeding it alkalines to keep the voltage around 6. But now you say there may be no real need for it... that would be GREAT!

The 8 cell (12V) TXs are cake to do lipo with, obviously. But the 4 cell TXs have been a problem haven't they... BTW I thought your 5 cell mod was awesome Brian, even if it didn't end up gaining anything range-wise, it was great for more capacity.

I'll be watching this one keenly.
