Short Run Times Blues

Happy New Year folks,

We got our first micro, a 1/24 RGT Adventurer (ECX Barrage). The stock pack is a 4.8v 220mah nimh, which will be upgraded soon. We got between 10 and 15 minutes I think on the first run and now, after only about 5 packs, run times are down to UNDER 4 minutes. What would cause that to happen?

Also, does anyone know any good micro packs? I am looking for 4.8v nimh with high mah, 2s lipos up to 450mah, and I'd like to try a 6v nimh as well.

Thanks,
MP
 
I’m also disappointed in the ability to “crawl”. It won’t go slow enough. I wonder if there’s a different motor or gearing that would help that.
 
I'm hoping someone comes up with a new motor/gearbox setup for this thing. I wanted to buy one but with all I've heard about the short run time and the lack of low end torque, I'm staying away. The last thing I need is to spend $100 and be sadly disappointed.
