You just use 4mm plugs. And regular batteries.

What kind of buggy is it? You could do 2 1s battery’s in a series? Or parallel? Don’t quote me but the idea is 2 1s batteries wired together to make a 2s pack. Technically most lipos today are both kinds. 4 cells altogether, 2 in a series to boost the total mah and then wired to another 2 to boost the voltage to 2s

Err no, the other way round: connection in series does not affect capacity but voltage. And saddle packs are meant to be used in series, so yes, basically two 1S cells to create a 2S total (difference is that normal 1S batteries are much bigger than the "official" saddle packs used to be, so at least for a 2S car, usually not really an option (lack of space - that's why original saddle packs used way smaller cells). If we're talking about a 4S car, connecting two normal 2S batteries is way easier.
