More seriously...

A small lipo around 20-25C rating usally do the job very well. You can find them in rc stores for around 15$.

If you stay in Ni-MH world it is important to know the discharge rate of your battery wich is harder to know most of the times. If you have a 1A 10.4v battery with a 5C rating it is still going to be worse than a 1A battery 9.6v with 10C rating.

In all cases switching connectors to deans (3$) will help a lot also as tamyia are very bad connectors overall and they are not design to handle discharge of more than ~10A.
