Here's a post I made a few weeks back with the set up I used in the electric Showtime we demoed at SEFF a few months back:

This week I'll be getting a few sets of Thunder Power 5S2P 4000mAh Pro Lite packs so I can run 10S2P with the C50-12XL motor. The new prop will be a 19x10E for the 10S2P set up, delivering about 1700 watts of power (about 48-52 amps current draw). I already know the power will be pretty incredible...cant wait for the packs to arrive!
Ive been traveling a lot the last few weeks for various events and vendor visits but I'll be finishing up the conversion article soon. Hope to get video of the 10S set up soon too!
For those who may not have seen it, theres some quick "teaser" video footage from SEFF 2005 with the first flight we put on the electric Showtime (using the 8S set up) at the event. This was only the 3rd flight of the model (we test flew it twice a few days before) but we flew it a ton more during the event. Mark Leseberg put in some AWESOME demos with the Showtime Saturday and Sunday!

The footage is on the second video link posted there (9.45MB) and starts about 30 seconds in. Its only a short teaser, but you can see the power on take off even with a cold pack (vertical gets even better once the pack warms up in flight) is quite good. With 10S itll be even better
