I'm using a Duratrax ICE, and I stop the charge manually. If it were me doing that setup (two 2s2p), I'd be able to do it for $245 ($80 for 8 cells from a Dewalt 36v pack, $125 for Duratrax ICE, and $40 for a Dapter [to stop the charge for you]). But this setup requires custom building, which might be something you would prefer to not do.

But to answer your question, two packs should work with the HV-Maxx 4.5, just don't use the adjustable voltage modules (apparently they aren't made to handle the high current of brushless motors).
