DOnm't mean to pop your bubble, but I don't think those batts are adequate for your setup. As rule of thumb, your continuous and burst amp ratings should be 25% more than the actual continuous amperage and burst amperage (in practice). You can get away with an 80 amp continuous rating, but to be on the safe side, I would say go for 100 (those are rated at 79.5, so 80). That is not where the problem lies. Your batts are rated at a burst rate of 106amps. According to your values above, 2442watts / 22.2v = 110 amps. Your burst amperage is less than the calculated amperage above. Your batteries may not be overheating now, but I thnk it may be a problem in the future. If not the batts, it will damage your ESC.
Sorry if I ruined your fun, I'm just trying to prevent you from losing expensive equipment.

You are correct in your calculations with one battery - I'm running those in parallel.
