Anyone running 8S Lipo? Reason I ask is because I just had a great breakthrough on my rusty/pede heat problems. I had an 8000mah 3S2P $170 maxamps battery I let run to low and wrecked one of its sells. Since it was wrecked, I decided to just turn it in to a 4000mah 4S. After running it in my pede(MM ecs & Lenher Basic XL motor), it doesn't get hot anymore. Heck, it hardly even gets warm. So. Now I am a VERY FIRM believer in using high voltage. I have a huge stack of Maxamps 2S2P LIPO's I now want to convert over to 4S. I am in the process of getting a G2R Revo. So if I converted all of my batteries over to 4S(I have 5 8000mah and 4 6000mah 2S2P) then I could use the same packs in both my rusty/pedes and my Revo. Just use 2 packs in the Revo. So that’s why I'm wondering if trying to run a Revo on 8S is going to be realistic. What do you guys think?

One more thing. When Mamba Monster Max comes out I want to get one for the Revo. Any chance it will be able to handle 8S lipo?
