Thanks, guys.

How do you recharge your big 6v batteries?

I used a Hitec 1/4" scale servo (HS705MG) for the elevate in the T005.  For
power I wired it directly to a small 6volt lead acid battery.  It worked
fine.  On the tank I'm building now I have even a larger servo (Hobbico
CS-80).  I'm going to forgo the rechargeable battery route and just use four
alkaline AA or C-cell batteries to power the turret (elevate and turret Rx).

I recommend wiring any large scale servo power leads directly to your power
source.  It will save you a lot of frustration chasing down Rx glitches
later on.
