Ni -MH is a must in my opinion, I'd burn through way too many other batteries. If you look on ebay, you can find them for cheaper. I believe Walmart has 4 AAA Ni-MH for $5. They aren't the best battery but are better than what you are using and should last longer.

As for the 5-6cell mod being worth it. I definitely think it is. They can get pretty crazy fast with 6 cells.... it always suprises people when I show them what such a small car can do.

The one thing I wouldn't skimp on is a decent charger. $30 for one of the 15 minute chargers is entirely worth while in my opinion.
