For Sure On The Reciever Pack. The Stock One Just Does Not Sit Right With Me-2000mah. Maybe Ill Use It For Some Headlights Or Something

I charged and cycled my 2000 on a team checkpoint charger and esily got 3+ tanks out of it. However it never lasted that long if I wall charged it. I tested my batts and I only use 480mah per tank. I run one 5745 connected directly to a 5cell 3000mah batt and one digital hitec st/br connected to the RX and a airtronics 2.4 FG to give you an idea of battery concumption. I have noticed that my single steering (1 year old) is maybe a little tired so Im converting to dual when my v3 gets here.

I take that back. One is working fine for me. My problem was the servo saver nut backed off making the steering soft. It alive and strong. Im gonna continue to use just one.

Will I Have To Mod My Holders For Them?

You will have to modify the servo mounts. The 5745 mounting holes aren't as spread out as the stock servo. The bottom holes on the mount will work, it's the top ones you'll have an issue with. You can just cut that mount tab off and re-drill the new hole lower.

Cool Sounds Simple Enough To Drill And Tap A Couple Holes If Needed. Thanks Guys

You can cut the tabs on the servo case instead of modifying the mount. Either way works. Servo mounts are cheap at Ramphopups, largerc, and daves. Servo cases are cheap at servo city. So don't be afriad.
