| Dont try using a 10cell (12v) pack with your stock motor or speed controller you'll toast the lot!! They are not rated for that power!! 
The 10cell I recommended is for using with the brushless Hacker C40 and appropriate controller.
You could try 9.6v but we aware that the stock speed controller is I believe only offically rated at 8.4v, though a number of people have used it with 9.6v, so its a bit of a gamble. The stock motor will run at 9.6v but you will probably find yourself having to replace the brushes on a regular basis.
The only real answer is the brushless route. Unfortunately the cost of doing so, as I found out, was more than the cost of my VoyagerE in the first place!! 
But it was worth it and I wouldn't part with mine now!!  |
