Default do batteries in parallel produce more amps?

i have 2 turnigy 2200mah 20c batteries but my motor draws 50 amps. if i was to run these 2 batteries in parallel would that create more amps or am i looking at this al wrong? i know the voltage stays the same but i dont see how the amps could stay the same.

and just to make sure, i am needing more amps right? the esc is a 60A and the motor is supposed to draw aprox. 50 A. but these batteries can only produce 44 amps each correct?? EDIT their burst rateis 30c wich makes 66A.if this is so thenuntil i get a better battery i would be fine if ididnt go WOT for more than 10seconds? scary i know but it would be very temporary.


i just misread someones explanation, made a fireball, gave someone wrong information, and bought new parts. i want to make sure im right this time lol
