Interesting mod for spektrum transmitters

[lincpimp]

Yeah, DE are a pretty cool company. I plan to oder one and mod my dx6 as I would like to keep using the nimh rechargeables, as I have 2 and it is an odd sized battery tray.

I have no idea why they went with high voltage like this, must be to run the lcd screen? Seems like the 2.4 stuff runs on 3v or so, so the higher voltage must be to power the lcd, what else in in a radio? I know the dx3r and s and some of the other 2.4tx like the traxxas only use 4 aas, but they are newer tech...

As far as fit, the original reg is a pretty std form part, so I am guessing DE made theirs to match up so it could be used in as many apps as possible (for more sales, of course)
