and the run time is about 15~ minutes with a 17.5 turn brushless motor...

I bet this is the direction you may go in the future, since it is very easy to maintain, no battery-memory, less heat, and the pack last forever...
yah, lipo is definitely in my radar, but i just have too many batteries that i can use right now. thought the long storage would permanently kill my nicds, but no issue. 2-3 cycles and they are as good as new.

i did find a few sub-cs that have shorter run time so im going to start desoldering those and replace with fresh loose ones i still have..
