Thanks for the reply above, any other contributions much appreciated.
4-cell NiMh is 4.8V nominal - 1s LiPo is 3.7V nominal - even the punchiest cells in the universe won't overcome the 25% difference in voltage!

For the change to LiPO/brushless to work, you need everyone to do it. Or you need to put the NiMH cars into a seperate class.
