I'll try to explain with my bad english...
Basically: the more volts (more cells), the more speed. The more mAh, the longer the runtime. But this also depends on how many Ampere your motor draws while running - faster motors usually draw more Amps. With the GP 1.100 mAh cells and an AON brushless (which draws alot of Amps) you will still get about 10 to 15 minutes of runtime, depending on the surface and the pinion you are using.
But not all cells can deliver high currents - GPs and some LiPos do, most AA-Batteries dont. If they cant deliver high currents, it results in a dropping voltage which means less speed. So, the more Ampere your motor "needs", the better cells you have to use. The 1.100 GPs are very good and they are what most people who run NiMH are using.
The number of cells only increases the voltage, not the mAh, because most battery-packs you can buy are wired serial (what is the right word? in german it is "in Serie") not parallel. If you wire them parallel, it increases the mAh but the voltage stays the same.
And now some native speaker should explain it in a way that can be understood
Edit: damn, I allways type to slow - but I have to translate while typing
