Six volt packs work great if you use a voltage regulator in the system, available at many supply stores. The IMAC guys use them always and a regulator is there to keep the spike out of play. One other thing, I have seen people say that six volt systems use up too much juice, with he advent of small high capacity batteries, how many of us run out of battery at the end of the day? Not many I would guess and that is if you have a bad servo or some other issue of current drain.

It will glitch on a fully charged pack. This showed up on a 1/6 scale extra that I had. I switched back to 4 cells. I saw a guy with a BIG DC-3 fight a glitch problem for 30 min. I suggested to him that it might be his 5 cell pack. He did not think that was it but the problem went away after the radio had been on a while.
