As long as the lipos are good, you should get at least 10 minutes of hovering. The stock brushed motors usually start drawing a huge amount of current when they're on their way out, so you might try replacing the main motor.

Could also be that the lipos are tired or that the mesh between the pinion and main gears is too tight. If you have a watt meter, try checking out the current and voltage at hover throttle level - should be around 4 amps and at least 7 volts.
