What Neweuser said, and maybe going to a 9XL, or even a 10XL, or a more efficient motor altogether (LMT/Neu). The higher turns count will pull less current and increase runtime. I run 14 x GP3300 unmatched cells and 10XL on a Revo (9.75lbs loaded, total gear ratio ~16:1) and I get about 15 minutes. I'm not running quite as hard as a good driver in a real race would, but pretty close.

16 cells on an 8XL is a little on the higher side of 40k rpm, which is where efficiency starts to fall.
