I will say I plan on recharging with an AC powered charger so I can charge in the house, and do a few batteries in a row one night so I can have 2 pair (4) ready to go the next day.
One pair of 2S 2200mah Lipo running in parallel should give me 45+ minutes of run time.
two pair, well I might get bored before I ran out of battery.
Electric now-a-days is so much different than what I grew up with.
Just have to pay close attention to the controller and motor temps.

Please, anyone want to add to this?
Charging lipos in the house can be dangerous. Are you using a lipo sack or a battery bunker??? For the most part lipos/chargers of today are much better than a few years ago.
If a pack or charger was to go bad while charging in the house even in a lipo sack or battery bunker the lipo will make toxic fumes.....
Just think about the stored energy in that lipo....it makes your truck go 40 plus mph for twenty minutes straight.....if that lipo gos bad and that power escapes look at what it can do....
When I started with lipos i started charging in the garage (detached) and thats where I still do all my lipo charging.
