battery up grade for toy grade rc?
what is the best option for a toy grade rc for not only mah but mah to weight???
currently i am running a 2/3aa 3.6v 300mah ni-cd battery pack but i want more battery life lol
so the question is what is the best rout for more more "MaH" power to weight wise... cause i can parellel and series but im worried about the weight of running a 6 pack
i don't have any objection @ this point but honestly i don't want to spend more then $15 for a charger and 1 battery... though i wouldn't mind spending more if there were multiple batteries....

Try to find some 2/3 AA NIMH cells to make a pack. I'm not familiar w/ that size cell's capacity , but generally nimh is twice the capacity as nicad so you may be able to double the capacity.

The runtime for sure would be 3 times as much. The power you may notice is about the same or better. It's probably cheaper too.

RE: battery up grade for toy grade rc?
With lipo you need to stay above 3V while discharging, so you would need something that keeps an eye on the voltage. Don't wave this advice away or you will regret it 
I don't know of any 1S lipo monitors, so...
