5s Lipo unloaded, fresh from the charger could put out 4v/cell, at 20v. But then again, 16 NiMh cells fresh off the charger without much load (just tires spinning) could put out 1.3+v/cell. 4s Lipo wouldn't be a bad choice, as it would be easier on your motors. The punch delivered by 4s Lipo would be at least equal to 14 NiMh cells (depending on the actual cells), and you wouldn't be dissappointed.
