Eneloops are great cells fro a TX, but they are not magic in that under 
use they will not "last" longer than most other NiMH cells. What makes 
them great is they act like lipos in that you can charge them and forget 
them. They hold 95% at 6 months and 85% at a year sitting on the shelf.

I use them in my 6EX and 3PM transmitters.  I also use them in a couple 
of gasoline racing boats for the RX packs (2 servos) and they are fine 
there too.
