As far as running them in parallel; I had planned on running two packs in series so I'd have 14.8V. If I run them in parallel, I'll only have 7.4V, which is probably not enough to be competitive in the 1/8th buggy or MGT.
On an interesting note, though - if I could be competitive with 7.4V and keep the motor and speed control in safe temperatures, I could run quite a long time at 7.4V and 12800mAh. Hour-long race, anyone? :D

I'm waiting on a reply from FMA at this point, and I'll share whatever they return for an explanation/description.
