Like nuz69 says, if your track's rules allow it, volt up and gear down. Higher voltage is more efficient, so it will get you longer runtimes. Just use the calculator to determine what gearing you need to run your current top-speed, but on the increased voltage.

You can also run a higher discharge (higher "C") LiPo to get more runtime. For instance; If you are currently running a 30C 4S 5000mAh LiPo, it produces 150A. If you upgraded to a 40C 4S 5000mAh LiPo, it would produce 200A, which would give you longer runtimes.
