I would run the 4s in series. More power. And with the 7xl, you would have heat issues i would think on 5s

I dont get it. 4s in series = more power than 5s? Hows that?

I understand that the Li-saver gos between the Rx and the ESC and the ESC and the battery, but where does the fan get power from? EDIT: nevermind, missed that last line

No problem - In fact I wondered where to draw the current for the fan. One of the airplane guys at my LHS recommended that I splice in prior to the esc and reciever. Use a 12 volt fan and draw directly from the batteries. His reasoning was that any fluctuation in current produced by the fan may lead to glitching if it was being drawn from the reciever. Since I already had a 5 volt fan I went ahead and plugged it into channel 3 of the receiver and haven't had any glitching yet. My LST2 conversion is put together the same way and I haven't had any issues there either.
