RE: Wire two batterys together
You take the + from one and connect it to the + from the other, then the - from one and attach it to the - of the other. That will give you 8400 mah, 7.2 volts, and a HEAVY car. 
What's it for?

If your using Deans connectors you can also purchase a harness like this one. http://www.maxamps.com/products.php?cat=69&pg=4 Look at the third from the bottom.

I think that question's been answered in your other thread. You simply hook up the front motor's wires backwards to the ESC so that the Red wire goes to the black wire of the ESC and the Black wire goes to the Red wire of the ESC. Test it and if it goes in the right direction, you're set, otherwise switch the connections around again and that'll do it. The 12T Titan motors as someone pointed out twice, is 0' timing so it goes the same speed forward and backward, so you shouldn't have any problems with the motors trying to spin at different speeds.

RE: Wire two batterys together
Hi, since its about the battery, I too have another question though. If I take two rechargeable Nimh square battery, they are 8.4v and have around 800 something mah, will it be adequate enough to power an rc car? I have a half8 mini inferno.
Thanks.
Thanks.

RE: Wire two batterys together
I'm not sure what a square Nimh battery is, but if it's for a half8 or Mini Inferno (aren't they two separate cars?) you should be alright, though they won't give you really good runtime and maybe lacky performance depending on their physical size. Can you tell if the individual cells are like 2/3 size AA cells? If they are 2/3 A (little thicker than AA batteries, they will work better and not heat up as much. If they're AAA sized or thickness, I wouldn't really recommend it, because the amp draw will heat them up a lot. I think.

RE: Wire two batterys together
I wouldn't try the half8 batteries. One of those batteries cant power one 540 motor, so why should two of those batteries be able to power two 540's?
I replied to your other thread about motor timing with a diagram........

What does 2/3A means? and how many does a rechargeable Nimh has?
Thanks again.

Yes, the half8 mini inferno is 1/16. The square battery I talked about is like the ones that used in the remote gate opener. They are 9v. But the rechargeable Nimh ones I think is 8.4v, but has only under 1000 mAh. A standard half8 can take up to 9.4v, so I would try another type of battery to save some weights before I purchase a 8 cell pack. Right now I'm running with 6 cell Nimh battery from my rc helicopter, it has 650 mAh, runs fine, a bit more punch but not enough run time.

2/3 is just the length of the cell. AA is your normal AA sized battery, a 2/3 AA cell is 2/3 as long, an A cell is not commonly used, but 2/3A are used for most 1:18-1:14 scale r/c.

So how do you wire in series?
