actually these guys are kind of correct charging at a lower rate will increase run time but only slightly maybe 20 secs. but it will also make the car slower the problem is your batts are toast.questions for you have they ever gotten hot if they have it creates crystalyzing in the cell.do you let them tricle charge if you do you wil destroy them nimh do not like trickle charging also does your charger charge nimh specific batts.i noticed you said you have only charged them 20 to 30 times that actually is a lot of charging.in racing conditions they last maybe 20 times before they start to fall off.thats the expense of going fast though.if you need batts for racing p.m. me and i will hook you up with some of my good practice packs
