Well, max charge on 6s A123's is 3.6v/cell. That's 21.6v. Of course, that voltage will drop down to 3.3v/cell (19.8v total) in a short time, but that's still high IMO. People have run the MM on 5s lipos, but it really is pushing it. You might be just fine, or you might end up shortening thge ESC's life span. Personally, I'd go no higher than 5s A123's. That would be 18v right off the charger and 16.5v for most of the run.
