More Voltage = Less Amp Draw?

[BP-Revo]

But with a 1530 - smaller motor than what Brian plans to run - he's running a full 19 series!

Anyway, reason behind 8S is because I was going to run 4, but then I decided they are small cells, and more voltage will require less current and I get more efficiency. On top of that, I need to pump a little extra out of the somewhat small 15 series motor.

So then I though of 6S. When I was looking for a controller to handle it - I saw the Pheonix HV series (Plane controller is fine since I'm using mechanical brakes) - and then figured, if I'm going to buy an ESC capable of 12S, might as well go higher. So I went to 8S, since my charger does 4S max, I do 4S per side - perfect!

Power should be PLENTY (if its too much, I can always go and wire the motor in Wye connection - which I just learned today! - which will reduce KV and thus reduce power).

So, there's a reason to the madness :)
