1. 8000kv will spin faster for given input voltage but may be slower due to having to gear down for lack of torque.

2. 6S means 6 series connected Lipo Cells at a nominal voltage of 3.7V/cell

3. Most people only get a marginal amount of increase in speed, nowhere near double.

4. Definitely

5. Typically, no. Also, most don't explode when they have a problem, they catch on fire. Balancing will help keep the cells from dropping too low in voltage relative to the other cells in the pack though. So, if you have perhaps a 6V cutoff, they both stay at 3V each, versus one staying much higher and one much lower. If one perhaps does drop too (<3V), there is a potential for the Lipo pack to puff up, but typically nothing more than that.
