Default Blackfoot--19 years old and still runs

Hello,
Took my Blackfoot out of the attic today, charged the batteries(also 19 years old) and ran it around the backyard....
Only get about 5 minutes out of the batteries, but what do you want for their age.
Are there any LOW dollar tips I can do to this truck? Maybe an electronic speed control or a better motor?
I realize this is an antique and was more curious than anything. I had this when gas cars were just starting out and I always thought I'd get a gas car. Never did.
Most of my free time (and money) is now spent on r/c airplaces but this would be fun to have at the field as well. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.


What would be the best choice for a glow powered off road truck with 4 wheel drive??
