switch to a 10.8v battery, a 7.4v lipo likely wouldn't give you much better ROF than a 10.8v NiMH. The 2S lipo gives you comparable ROF as a 9.6 on torque gears, but I can't speak for 13:1 gears since that requires more motor torque and that's where LiPo has the advantage.
Get rid of the tamiya connectors mid-line, replace them with deans if you want, but having a tamiya anywhere in the line completely defeats the purpose of having deans on your battery.
If you don't have a basic mosfet yet, throw one in there, it'll give you a really noticeable ROF boost. It'll also get rid of the trigger arcing caused by a 10.8v pack.
And the motor draw will never be high on a mini NiMH pack, they just don't supply enough amperage.
