And next time you change the battery use alkaline cells devoid of strange names. All major brands have been known to leak, even Duracells. Eventually, but I have never known eveready or duracell to leak unless they are left for some time (mths, even years) after going completely flat, the OP should notice this when his RC stops working!!

OTOH some of the exoticly-named cells found in street-markets and pound-shops seem to have the same kind of lifetime guarantee that comes with the proverbial watch that slashes your wrist when the mainspring breaks. "Flying Bomb" used to be a slight hint at the possible effect of using the same-named cells in equipment. |
