GP3300s are good cells, it what I ran b4 I got lipos. Even with 14 cells, on a MM/8XL I could hit ~38-40mph in my Revo. One of my 1st vids (Bl Revo Wheelies on youtube, click links in sig to get to my vids) was done with on my older gp3300s. Good speed and plently of wheelie power.

Unless your's are very poorly treated, they should be pretty fast still. Going 4S isn't going to give you a huge speed bump if all the parts aren't working properly. I would address this issue 1st. You bought this Revo used right? Are your electronics new?

Lipos are def worth it for the weight, runtime, huge punch, as well as low voltage dropoff (longer usable runtime). The TrueRc packs are very good for the price. The 10C 8K packs are good but wide (50mm, make sure they fit 1st) while the 15C 6400 packs are also great and are a "normal" 44mm, so fit in std batt trays. Both are ~$150 for a 4S pack (2x2S) so are a great deal. My vids both use TrueRc packs, the 4S is the 6400 pack, the 5S is the 8k packs. Plenty of power. Hyperion/apache taps too.
