in series, and you could either get 2 x 7.2 volt packs but if your using drills i'd recommend over volting them with 2 x 8.4 volt packs for more speed

well i am using the drill packs (yes i know the rubbish (1300mah)
but i cant buy some(well i could get my dad buy them)
so...

EIDT: I have 2 14.4v batterys

Wire them in parallel. That'll give you 14.4V and 2600mAh which will provide a more respectable running time. If you wired them in series you would get 28.8V, which is fine, but you would still only have 1300mAh and several speed controllers suitable for featherweights don't operate up to 28.8V

my dad said series (but i didnt think that would work and blow my esc)
so thats done
i will get a frame pic when its done lol

The answer isn't as simple as it may seem.

You'll need to know / work out the amps used by your setup....versus the amps your battery / batteries have to give during a given time.

Try playing with this calculator

..A Harbour Freight motor is probably the equiv of your motors.
