The AA batteries do make the Tx hot. If continued using for a longer period they might even damage the Tx. (which is what happened with my E-sky :banghead: ) I would suggest you to use the recommended batteries. Even though the rechargeable packs are costly, they are a good investment as they last long and you don't have to worry about your radio getting hot! |
