Don't worry about it, we all make mistakes!
For a 7XL, you can go 5s or 6s. 5s would feel as powerful (if not more) than 18cells, but its speed might be slightly lower. 6s would give insane power, but would be a little harder on the controller since it has to handle so much voltage, and more amps (because the voltage is higher). So, I think you would be happy with 5s. And 8400mah would be fine, as long as the motor isn't overgeared so that it gets hot.
