If I connect 2of 11.1v x 2100mah packs together in parrallel I understand that it becomes equivalent to an 11.1v x 4200mah. no problem with that.
My question is, if both batteries are rated at 20c does this give me a 40c capability?
4200mah @40c would be capable of supplying 116 amps!!
Theroretically if I only need 60 amps peak, I could use 10c packs and still have a margin for safety.
Any help much appreciated.

No hooking up 2 20c packs in parallel it still is a 20c pack. But you go from a 2100 pack that can supply 42 amps to a 4200 pack that can supply 84 amps.
