Unhappy Some weird trouble

I just recieved a pair (Panther and Tiger) from toy east. It took 5 months (package lost in mail) so I am pretty excited.

Anyway...

They seem to work great, but:

After some time, the tiger freezes. I read all the threads while waiting, and saw the thing about burning in. So I took off the treads, and put a weight on the sticks, to make the motors run continuously. The tiger pauses every few seconds.

When I was actually playing a battle, the tiger would totally lock up. Turning off the other controller would correct this. Of course they were set to different channels. It was like the tanks recieved some "saturation" after a while and would not respond... at first it was only the tiger, then they both did this.

I tried each tank on various channels. It still happens.

I thought it might be my cordless keyboard, which uses IR, but was not being used. Deactivating it does not seem to help.

Has anyone else seen "confused" tanks like this? Or do all of them occasionally lock up after some time?

I was thinking I just had a bad one, but with both of them doing this, it seems unlikely.

Anyone have some experiments for me to try? Also:

I read in a digi-q car faq a while ago that only non-rechargable alkaline batteries should be use. I can read a little Japanese, and there is a statement about batteries in the instructions which is left out of the translation on the konami site.

Are you all using rechargable batteries just fine? Or should I go buy some disposable alkalines? I am using hydrides for now...

thanks--

rob

Are you playing in the sunlight ?

If so try it ones more out of it.

If not think about if there is another IR in your room.
