I do not like carrying a lipo saftery bag around and charging and discharge batteries is a drag for me

Thanks for your help guys but I found a nice orion 1900 nimh battery that should do good

1900 mAh in a 1/8 nitro would be fine, but in a Largescale is way too small - minimum of 4000 is best here.
1900 might just last one tank.

I coundn't find a nimh battery that was bigger than 1900 mah though

They normally go up to ~5000 mAh - don't know if it needs to be hump-pack shaped or flat - check out FG / HPI Baja batteries - you'll find LOADS.
Check out their dimensions.
Seriously, 1900 mAh will JUST cover one tank then you'll start losing power on the servos - not good.

The battery compartment on the DBXL is very tight/has limited space... The Killer RC Box Lid Kit gives a bit more space height wise. Not sure of any larger capacity NiMH batteries that fit.... Unfortunately there is a very limited choice on battery upgrades.... Killer RC again make a good LiPO that will fit, but I know this isn't what you're after.

However, I don't normally run my car for more than 20-30mins at a time so the current battery is adequate for that at the moment for me personally.

Have you looked into the life batteries? Supposed to be more stable than lipo.

Check out DDM, they got 5000 mah packs in hump & flat , Horizon has the Dynamite packs in 5100mah, that's what I have in my baja and FG tourer, pretty good deal and not expensive. hope this helps you out some.
