don74,

Not quite correct mate

Connecting packs in parallel does in fact double the discharge capability

ie
Single 3300 mah 20c pack = 66 amps cont. discharge

2 x 3300 mah 20c packs in parallel (makes it an 6600 mah 20c pack) therefore = 132 amps cont. discharge


paul,

In order to be safe with those packs you would need a motor that has a burst power rating of 130 amps or less (900w or so)

Cheers
