I have a "Swallow Advance" charger - I usually set the charge rate to 2C (2.2A - not sure about voltage but it's automatically sensed by the device i think) which I'm lead to believe is fine for those cells. They don't even get warm when charged at that current.

Runtime *was* ok a few weeks ago but i snapped one of the battery bars off in a crash and in repairing it i may have buggered a cell (runtime seems a lot shorter now so if that's a good indicator as you suggest then it would seem to fit)

glitchy symptoms pre-date damage to the pack though.

As I mentioned in the post I haven't messed around with the radio gear as yet (beyond ensuring that the antenna and signal cables are well away from the power source and the motor) since the thing doesn't glitch *at all* with a LiPo power source. (for reference, though it's a 27MHz AM radio).
