Except for efficiency and a bit less heat I don't see any reason that 4S is not a viable option in the E-Revo. Just make sure your batteries (probably 4S - 8000mAh best) can push the higher amount amps required for the lower voltage setup.

My peak with an Eagle Tree with 6S and a 1515/2.5d in the e-revo was about 2200 Watts. That's about 100 Amps on 6S - means you'd be looking at about 150 Amps on 4S.

I find that even pushing the constant C rating on lipos the batteries get pretty warm, so for a 4S 8000mAh pack I would say something with a TRUE 20-25C rating at minimum.
