Default Charging RX Batteries

Hi Guys, quick question for you. I'm still running the standard AA battery box with 4 X 2000mah Nimh cells in it but i want to go for a proper 6V hump back pack. Will a 1200mah pack be as good or do i need an higher one and do i need to buy a mains slow charger. I have a 12v fed field charger that someone gave me which would quick charge it but does this screw the pack if always quick charged???

Cheers

1200 mah battery will be plenty of runtime, mine is a 1000 mah, and you can get about 3-4 hours out of it, and a slow charger may be better, the quick charger will probably make the battery not last as long.

I run a venom 1100 mah pack for hours at a time... I have 2 volt meters on my truck and the packs work great even with the hi-torq servo's... Just slow charge them....

Cheers guys, looks like i'll have to get the trickle charger as well. I think my servos are a little slow due to only having 4.8v from the 4 Nimhs. I'll start searching the web see what i can find then, LHS wants a fortune for battery and charger.
