All I do is bash, 3' to 7' high jumps most of the time. Do you 6S guys do that? Just wondering.
45min to 1hr runtimes are a must, so far I found 4S 8000mah's do really well for my needs.

Well, if you go from 4s to 6s you can maintain the same weight battery, it will have less capacity, but runtimes will be equal or slightly better. Plus the equipment will run cooler (considering it is geared correctly and also fits the intended voltage). Also, overall power will be more, and I notice that poer and toeque at higher speeds seem to be more than with a 4s setup.
I bash just as hard with my lv systems as the hv ones. Personally I really like 5s with a quark esc and a higher end motor (aveox, hacker, etc). Seems to be the best for bashing on a budget given current battery technology. I am sure that 5s and 6s setups will be more popular after the MMM has been released and gained acceptance.
