About my STuG: I noticed that the battery pack for the receiver (4 x NiMh 2300 mAh cells) drains quite fast because the elevation servo is constantly correcting the gun position whilst driving. So after approx. 20 minutes I have to changes these batteries.
 
My main power source for the motors is a 12 V 24 Ah battery, and a second 12 V 7,2 Ah battery is used for the controller and cooling fans.
 
Would it be a problem (in terms of noise) to hook the power lines from the elevation servo up to the controller battery? With the capacity of 7,2 Ah it's quite overrated for just the controller and the fans, so this option would level the drain on all batteries. There is not much room for a fourth battery, so I'd like to stick to the three I've already got installed.
