Question Help ! Totally confused

I am on my first scratch build of a Cat 330b 1/14 scale. I am at the stage of buying a battery and charger, the more I search the net the more I am confused. I am looking at a Turnigy ultimate 7500mah 2s2p, 7.4 Lipo. I have four esc's. two for tracks, one for swing and one for pump motor. The pump motor is a 560kv 10 turn motor, with a 90amp brushless esc. A 7.4 volt lipo will give me pump rpm of 4144 with direct drive. Am I looking in the right direction or am I missing something?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Terry

When your 2s lipo is fully charged the voltage will be 8.4v, pump will be running closer to 4700rpm... what pump are you using?

I bought another one of these chargers through this site last night. Lots of times I'm charging 2 or 3 batts at once, sometimes 4.

Thanks for your reply Lil Giants, I have the pump from rc4wd, don't know who makes it probably China. I can lower the pump speed through the radio channel.

I would try to get just a 2s, skip the 2p as they don't balance well. Go straight 2s. Turnigy has done me very well.

My preference for a charger is the I-Charger Duo. You can charge up to 10s per side of the charger, balance, monitor the impedence over time to be able to tell when a battery is going south.

They are expensive chargers, but many believe they are the best out there.
