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.

Actually, I am turning 36K rpms at the loaded value. How would the MaxAmps 5s2p 3000mah(2s2p and 3s2p) work with my 9920/8xl setup? Would the motor draw too many amps for the controller?
