Make sure the lipos you get can handle the potentially huge currents 2 CIMs would cause. Trying to draw too much from them can cause thermal runaway and fire.

In terms of size and weight, I think you'd get a more satisfying performance by switching to 550's or 775 sized motors as you can shave a lot of size and weight off, without a large power loss.
