Bill,
You could replace the 8.4V with a 2cell 7.4 volt lithium. A 3 cell will burn out your motors in short order. If it were me, I would look at an Apogee 830 or Thunderpower 900. Unless you need the weight up front and then I would look at a 2S 1320 or 2S 1500. Note that the GWS Speed controllers do not have lithium support.
There is a pilot using a 2S Tanic 2500 in his with very good results.
