6s vs. 4s?

I think part of the issue here will be that you can get the same runtime with a lower kv motor + higher voltage and lower mah lipo, but to see an increase in runtime you need to keep the same mah capacity & lower the current draw ( HV and lower kv again ). Having a lower mah will reduce weight but lessen the advantage you get from lower current draw = same overall runtime.

I figured the total capacity of the batts would be the determining factor. The 4S 5000mah only has 74amp/hours. The 6S 4400mah is 97 amp hours. I figured that is a larger "gas tank" per say. So it should give me more runtime. The speed is the same.
