Default RE: Front Yard 3D+Video

I recently burned out the EPS300C motor and replaced it with a 350 motor in my GWS gearbox (D gearing). My run times are significantly lower due likely to higher current draw. Performance is better though. My speed control cuts out a lot especially on the smaller 720 mah pack (fast voltage drop at high throttle). How well would a 2 cell lithium poly pack work in this setup? 3 cells seems like too much voltage for this motor and I'm not ready to go brushless yet ($$$) I don't want to be replacing the motors every 10 or 20 flights. I was looking at the 2 cell Thunder Power 2100 HD mAh pack. It can handle a higher amp load than the Etec cells. Would this work well with a 350 motor and D gearing. My 3DX comes in at 12.3 ozs with an 800 mAh NiMh battery.

Thanks for any info.
