I want to run 9S A123. So I would vote HV.

Why becuase I set my packs up for 3s and 3 of them would be great. If I run 6s 2P then I have more weight then I want.

HV gives you more options it's not that you always need more power sometimes it is better for more run time without simple adding twice the batteries. After all we all know that you can not run 6s1.5P

This is a good one on HV:

Found on this site: http://www.zerorc.com/wram-show-2008-report

"Speaking of the T-Rex 450, I chatted with Joe Ford at the Castle Creations booth, who flies his on 12S LiPos. That's not a typo - he uses four 3S 480 mAh batteries wired in series, for a total of 44.4 volts. Using a Castle high voltage speed controller, he draws only 2 amps at full throttle and full collective! He also hinted that controllers with switching BECs were under development, to meet the demands of high-draw digital servos".

That is nice. I guess I'm not the only one who got electrocuted a few times in the past . I must say that I reather get 220V flowing through my body then 12V and some crazy amount of AMPs!

My record so far, and one I don't want to break, is 43kV. (Dam you, Nikola!)

I would say HV for all out power and the best running. However, the simplicity of a mild KV motor and a 4S/5S setup properly geared is the best for racing in my opinion...

I vote HV, there will be plenty of 6s controllers on the market soon, so something up to 12s with brakes and all will be nice. I have some larger scale conversions I am contemplating and they will need voltage to move.
