That's pretty much the idea. The problem that you may run into in that scenario though is being able to find adequate gearing choices to gear down far enough on 6S to run the same speed as 4S. Also, IMO, it is much better from the get go to run a motor that will be in the desired RPM range on the voltage you're running.
