Double the runtime plus the gain of a lower duty cycle on the pack. I will guess about 3x the runtime of the stock pack, I haven't run it down yet with about 2 hours of driving. Stock pack is barely 45min.
I did something similar, except I used a cheaper UBEC and 2s 2100mah Lipo. After ~2hrs of usage over a period of 3 weeks, I might put back 250mah in. It's just awesome .
