This is completely wrong. More voltage will not give you longer runtimes. Voltage = power, mAh = runtime. However, higher voltage does not mean you will get more power from your car, unless the battery also has a higher discharge rate to let more power get to the motor faster. A 1.2v NIMH will have more power than a 1.5v Alkaline due to the discharge rate. A 950mAh NIMH will have longer runtime than a 750mAh NIMH.
