Does anyone have thoughts about rewiring Nerf's D-battery monsters to run on the Rival rechargeable battery pack? We all know that those six or eight D batteries are very bulky and heavy, plus more expensive over time than rechargeables. It would be LOADS more practical to just slap a tidy and light pack into a Stampede, Vulcan, Mastodon or what have you.

Of course, eight D's provide 12 volts (not 9.6, doofus), and the Rival battery packs only provide 7.2 volts, so that's not enough. So if we want to avoid fumbling with those cells (and with IMR's, by association), is the only alternative then to install new motors, switches and wire to handle LiPo packs?
