I agree with Serum and Lipomaxx. The 12 cells were probably wired in parallel, so the only speed you gained is from the extra current capability of the dual packs. The batteries are a huge limiting factor as well. One good 7 or 8 cell pack will propel that thing to the mid 40s pretty easily. The Kokam Lipos are awesome as well, and would really turn it into a rocketship.
