Mike mirrored my thought here. I'd agree with Mike here. Going 5s 4400 mah lipos will give you approximately 40% more run time geared for the same speeds. With the higher voltage, you would have to drop a pinion gear or so. That would reduce amperage. In addition, the MUCH lower weight will also reduce amperage some more.
