So my suggestion is to be happy with the runtime you're getting, which will increase some once your new battery gets a few cycles on it, unless you want to spend additonal money after poofing a motor from forcing it to run too long and get too hot.
Ok, so what would you suggest for me?

I got a runtime of about 5 minutes after installing the dual motor setup. This is after atleast 6-7 runs on just the stock single motor setup, so the pack had some charges ran through it.

I want more than the little 1400 mAh battery, and obviously a faster charger.. the stock one sucks. I looked at www.cheapbatterypacks.com and they had a 1500 mAh setup for like $20, would it be worth it to invest in a couple of those?
