A nice big capacity 3cell Lipo would do you proud in there


Something like this one

Or depending on the way your Motors are setup a separate smaller capacity for each motor

 Thanks E2V I may  end up VERY reluctantly going lipo  after I  have tried all the variants I can but definitely not messing around with seperate   motor supplies  and esc's

I hope  not coz I know where you live 
 Seriously though I have ordered one albeit not the one you  showed  I did  have a look at it again this morning  and while I was looking  they popped up   a reduction of about £3    so I went for it till I saw the sods wanted £16  for shipping it    I know they cant use Royal Mail but that  takes the biscuit . Will reprt back when I get and try   this other one

OK   today did a  static run test  in my pond using the LIpo albeit not fully charged  just 12v and  a suspect  Lipo
 Physical assessment full throttle nearly pulled me arm off
 
Electric  LIpo   No throttle  12V
 
             Full throttle drops  to 9.8 V and pulling 24Amps
         
Nimh     No throttle    13 V
 
           
             Full Throttle    drops to  8.8 V  pulling 18 amps and
me arm still in its socket
 
are these the sort of variances one should expect

It could be that 18amps is the max current that the nimh pack can push

Would that be the likely reason  for the  lack of speed I am moaning about
