I have been over this topic so many times that this may the last time I type it, next time I will c+p it.
I use 6S in a hull that most will say is 2S or 3S. Why is that ?
I have run a very successful setup in this hull at 3S with the esc getting hot.
I double the cell count, well actually go from 3S2P to 6S1P, and fit a motor that is half the kV with the same esc and guess what? similar performance but bugger all heat.
I work out what power (W) I need in a hull and then work from there to choose the lowest Amp draw I can for my begining estimate. This will take more cells but as the A is low I can go with a high C on the cell and a lower mAh.
Trust me on this, it works, and well !!
The important thing is that you need to know what Power(W) you will need for your hull and this can take some reading or trial and smoke to determine.
I run a mini/micro 35mph rigger on "3S" and a bigger XL powered 65mph rigger on "4S"
That is all from me for now.
Power(W) = VxA then it is all kv x V and then A/mAh times V..
