hi guys. im just wondering if the esc in the mini e revo (VXL-3m) would be ok with two 2s packs in parallel? or even two 3s?
if anyone could help it would be much appreciated.

Shouldn't be an issue. Parallel wiring will increase your run times and increase the max current your ESC can pull, since you'll have 2 available sources to pull from. Voltage will remain the same so you don't have to worry about pushing too much voltage through the ESC .

works great, i do it all the time.

I didn't think the available max current changed.

If a 1000mah pack is rated at 20C, the max continuous amp draw rating is 20A. If you run two of these pack in parallel, you are effectively running one 2000mah pack with a 20C rating for a max continues amp draw rating of 40A.

I do as well , parallel doubles the mAh , series doubles the voltage and is not recommended with LiPo batteries . Running two packs also helps balance out the chassis .

I think you are right
