when running a 6s setup, you have lower amps and higher voltage. as your motor is pulling lower amps, you can have a similar runtime with smaller batteries.

basically, the power is supposed to be the same, but the performance is different. 5 or 6s is kinda smoother. I just love the torque of my 1700/1600kv four-pole motos.

as you're having a high voltage setup, the equipment is running cooler. further, it's easier for the batteries. for 4s setup you need higher quality batteries/higher c rating. like that, 5 or 6s is a bit cheaper, in general you don't need a 30c pack for that.

I've been running a xcelorin 1700kv on 5s for a long time, and now running a medusa 3680-1600kv on 5s. My 20c Turinigy 5s-Lipos never get too warm, power is more then sufficient, and I would never go for 4 s.
