I did it

I went to rat-shack and got a pair of relays and hooked them up. It still slows down a bit when you turn the wheels, but it's a little faster over-all.
The neat thing is that I found some 1800mah NiMH AA batteries at Walmart for $10 including a charger.
The other improvement in speed is swapping the stock motor for one from a Tamiya 4wd kit. It has a blue end bell, and I think it's just their stock one.
Still waiting on the pile I ordered from the local hobby shop.
