6s is more voltage than I want. The controller wont handle 7s or 8s and even if I did have a controller and motor suitable for 7 or 8s It would defeat the purpouse of going to a light setup. I might as well just use the motor and controller I already have and run 4s2p. Same weight and cell count. Besides that... 7 or 8s is just way more voltage than needed IMO.

4s lipo should be more than enough voltage for racing, and for me the voltage of the 4s A123 is enough for the track. I'm just wondering if thet can handle the amp draw at 1p.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean????
