Is it just me or does it seem that everytime I'm ready to play with my tank, the transmitter batteries are dead ; or ready to die....

So I added 2 extra rechargeable batteries to my transmitter , and while I was at It ; I welded a Tamiya connector for recharging without taking the batteries out of the unit....
And while I was at It , I mounted a camera bracket on the transmitter , so I can video-tape ; while having both hands free to control my tank ....
