Kinda confusing to me, first if you HAD 2 4s lipos now, what would your setup be? do you want two 4s lipos in paraelle for 4s, or two 4s in series for 8s and whats on the esc for bullet conn, what size?

Probally would get hot with all that wire on 8s, if you just wanted to use up some 2s batteries, you could shorten the wires some, or not, put large bullet conn on them, plug them into each other, pos to neg, till left with one pos and neg and then plug into esc, would have to be same mah and c rating on all batts.
