brushless conversion questions

[rcsammy]

ok then :)
well i went onto maxamps.com and was looking around
and i saw that alot of the batterys are 2S2P or 4S2P.... and im a bit confused with the 2P part, so could anyone explain that please?

i was looking at other peopls conversions and was amazed at the runtimes people were geting 30-45 minutes on one pack is brilliant, if i could run 3x 5minute qualifiers and then a 15minute final(30 minutes in total) with just one battery then i could afford to spend more on one good battery rather than two not so good ones

2S2P is 2Series2Parallel.

Nothing is ideal in our world, runtime depends from ton of factors. From Motor, weather, count in track style, track surface and etc.
In realtively small track where I am usualy run I get with 5000mAh pack 12 min in race condition. In this weekend I ran it on faster track with loose surface and i got 7min of running. 5min less I recorded 1600W peaks in my system.
All comes through experince!
