Default Gettin and E-maxx 3905! Got Q's!!!

I will be running 6 cell 3300 Powermax batteries in my E-maxx? I am not sure what kind of speed and runtime i am going to have but I do not want to go lipo anytime soon.
I will be using an Onyx 240 dual charger that will charge my batteries at 5 amps each at the same time. How long would this charger take to charge the batteries listed above?

Also, if I use 6 cell batteries in my 16.8 E-maxx, will it go as fast as the 3906 14.4 E-maxx?

Now since I am not going lipo, how would I increase my run time significantly? More Mah or more voltage?

more mah will increase runtimes. They're out of stock right now, but the [link=http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/main.asp?sid=1176195&pgid=superlisting&type=car&manufacturer=4&model=21]elite 5000[/link] pack should give you some pretty good run times I would think. I'm not a big time electric guy, so I can't say from experience. I'm just passing on what little I know.

I only got around 22 to 24mph tops running 6 cell batteries and very little runtime(10 mins on 3000s) I have since moved to lipos(6000mah 25c and 8000mah 10c) and its a huge difference. Runime is now in the 30+min range and with the stock motors I got 31mph if I recall correctly and wheelys on demand. I ended up putting a 11L nemisis motor and 70amp bk esc in it(18/65 gearing for low to mid 30mph range) and it now will run almost an hour on the 8000s. I have unfortunatly sold my emaxx to fund my e-revo. I ran for 30mins straight(with brushless motor) and motor temps were 185 degrees F running up sand dunes . So I would suggest going with 7 cell nimh batteries or lipos its not all that fun on two 6 cell batts
