I think there has to be a way to produce some energy while you're driving like Chris said. At least enough to slow the draining of the battery power. There are so many sources you could get energy from: the wind resistance, the spinning tires, maybe even heat from the controller. Why not attach a sprocket or something to one of the back wheels and have it spinning a small generator inside the car? The laws of thermodynamics are just theories...and its not like no ones ever broken a law before. Even on youtube I've seen people who have made magnetic motors that use little energy, if any at all to start.
