My new Ni-Mh battery finally came from china and now it has a lot more kick than before, not to mention runs for a lot longer. The specs say 9.6V 2000 mAh battery. I don't buy the 2000 mAh, but I can see a big improvement nonetheless.

I decided to go with XT60 battery connectors and a pack of 10 pairs of cheap XT60s just arrived so I will be changing the tamiya connectors with those.

I still have a lot of problems with the range, it goes about 8 meters and then cuts off. I tried it in an open area with the same result, so no interference around my home is causing it. I took apart both the transmitter and the car to look for any loose wires/connections, but everything is there, so I don't know what the problem is for now.
