Each Lipo cell is 3.2v. Its only the high volt cells that go over 2 cells. 7.4v is always 2 cell.
yup the 4800 have 3 cells in each bank in parallel (3.4v) the 2 banks wired in serries give 7.4

“Cars will be driven by a maximum of six rechargeable Nimh cells or two rechargeable Lithium Polymer cells in series, in stick or saddle pack configuration..."
spot on amend it on the day!!
