I think an 8XL on 4s would run fine. Just don't gear for too high a speed to keep your MM from cooking. Get dedicated fans for both the motor and ESC. Keeping the motor cooler will help keep the ESC cooler also. I ran my MM with a 6XL on 4s...much higher rpm. Great power and speed, but both ESC and motor got hot quick. Running it on 3s and not gearing it too aggressively would've probably kept it a decently running setup (not too hot). Good luck and have fun.
