MotorWorks: bullet vs box?

I've got a MotorWorks car that came in a bullet. But now the local Wal Mart has a bunch of the cars in the rectangular boxes.

Is there any major quality difference between the bullet and box cars?

Sorry, I mis-spoke. It wouldn't double the amps, but it would double the current capacity, right? So you'd get longer run times.

Which reminds me.... Does anyone know what the mAH rating is for the batteries in Precious clones? The battery in that thing doesn't have any markings, and I don't have a multimeter handy right now.

KB Toys has them in my area, for about US$15 each.

I've been tempted to pick one up, but I want to learn more about compatibility of parts, first. The bodies are ugly -- super cheap looking.
