You can now get 8000 to 10000 2S packs.

Alternatively, choose a motor that has a peak RPM that is about 60% of your current peak RPM. Being lower KV, it will draw less current and give you the same effect. Example: I ran a 8.5 turn 550 motor on 3S instead of a 4.5/5.5 motor on 2S. The motor barely got warm and the rather small 3S pack (3400 mAHr) would only be drained about 50% in a 10 minute race. Now you can get 3S packs with 4300 mAHr capacity that are the same size as the standard 2S packs.
